It has never been more important to build a set of essential skills to succeed in life for our children and young people: the ability to creatively solve problems, to self-manage, to communicate effectively, and to work well with others. These are skills that are needed to do almost anything well. The need for these skills is clear, but there is still a gap – too many children and young people do not build these skills to the level they need, and so miss out on opportunities to thrive in other parts of their lives.
Barndale House follows the Skills Builder programme to help with personal development. Each term we teach a new topic, the programme is progressive and each passport travels with all students throughout their school journey.
