It was amazing to see our selected group of Year 10 students so engaged and enjoying their New Views Theatre Writing Workshop. 🎭 We have partnered with the National Theatre who are going to teach the group all of the key skills needed to write and develop a hit play! They will soon be visiting the National Theatre themselves to get a taste of the action live!

It was great for twenty of our students to be able to attend the ‘West Kent Works’ Careers Fair at the Alexandra Suite last week. This was a fantastic opportunity for our young people to learn more about local offers, apprenticeships and what they need to do to make that first step on their journey into the world of work.
