Next Steps

Meet with your personal tutor to discuss your aspirations to get involved as soon as you arrive to us in Y12. They will then ensure your name is put forward to join the Barclays Life Skills timetabled session that takes place every Wednesday afternoon.  Each term students will have the chance to work collaboratively across the MAC with other students to enhance their team working skills and projects.
