On Tuesday, the Y12 NCOs had the opportunity to start their BTEC Level 2 Diploma in Teamwork and Personal Development in the Community. This is an internationally-recognised qualification that has been proven to help with applications for entry to higher and further education as well as in gaining employment. It hones vital life-skills skills in leadership, teamwork, communications, problem-solving, and fitness; skills demonstrated by our NCOs on a weekly basis. In essence, the award is a qualification that officially recognises the personal development cadets gained through the CCF.
The organisation that facilitates the award, CVQO, sent two delegates to assist with completion of the first workbook. Cadets were guided in providing evidence of how they have worked as part of a team and demonstrated leadership, completing the first stage in no time at all. As if a free qualification couldn’t get any better, CVQO have said they will fund a day of adventurous training after Easter on which pupils will also receive support to complete their second workbook, in time for it to be added to their UCAS applications.

Congratulations to Year 10 pupils Connor J (School) and Jude PC (Brook’s) who have both been awarded the runner-up prize in the Liverpool Women’s Hospital Back to the Future Generations art competition. The competition, which was open to participants across Merseyside, asked entrants to design their vision for the future and what they think the hospital will look like in another 25 years in 2043.
The Chair who judged the competition said of Connor's drawing: "the quality of artwork from this artist really stands out" and of Jude’s work:"This artist gave a strong portrayal of concept, with open homely spaces".
