Change / Preparing for Adulthood
Students focus on emotional, mental, physical and economic well being.
Practical Skills
Students learn and improve practical skills that might be of use around the house or in any potential future job that require trade skills.
Personal Development
Students freely explore anything they want. They can study small online qualifications, participate in fitness sessions or improve their skills in a specific area.
Creative
Students explore artistic and entrepreneurial pursuits, either individually or in a group. We have the opportunity to sell on an online platform, in the school shop and in the local community with community partners.
GR Think
Students develop critical thinking and literacy through the exploration of a range of topics and complete related projects.
Question Time
Pupils improve their ability to access knowledge and fascinations that they wish to improve upon. Students spend time asking questions they've always wanted to
Market Garden
Students engage with nature. We grow food for the school kitchen and markets held at The Swan.
Swan Elders
Each week a member of The Swan community will speak to students about their career, life or a specific passion.
GCSE Extension
Students who are taking GCSEs will be offered a bonus hour of personal study towards improving their GCSE knowledge. This time will be used to practise GCSE exam questions/ papers, working independently.
English
For students who want to improve their GCSE English grade or just want to improve their literacy skills.
Maths
For students who either want to improve their GCSE Maths grade or just want to improve their general Maths skills.
Therapy
Therapy is accepted as part of education at GRC. Having the opportunity to achieve perspective and balance in life is vital. Students are offered weekly one to one sessions. All are assessed and this can involve consultation with key family members and family interventions if required. Sessions are psychotherapeutic in nature and here, unhelpful behaviour patterns, family dynamics, difficult past experiences and an awareness of emotions can be explored safely.
