Getting involved and developing new skills

Sixth form students visit exhibitions, theatres, museums and galleries, sports tournaments, outdoor education weekends, attend conferences and participate in European excursions. History students have visited Berlin; the biology and geography departments have been to Iceland, Pembrokeshire and Arran; the physics department have been to CERN and the art and photography department explored Barcelona. Sixth form students have taken part in big expeditions such as Operation Wallacea to South Africa and Camps International to Kenya, Cambodia and Uganda.

All sixth form students undertake some aspect of volunteer and charity work and fundraising as part of the Hartismere 100. Sixth form committee representatives coordinate activities and events; elected sports and prom representatives organise and plan other events such as the annual leavers’ prom.

Music evenings, recitals and band nights reinforce the importance of being a rounded individual with skills that go beyond the classroom. Students can also take part in the whole school production where, as well as performing, members of the sixth form lead and support younger students.

Students also complete a programme of skills for life throughout the year in areas such as personal finance, food and menu planning, volunteering and first aid, careers research and planning for their futures.
