The Principles of the Stretch Programme
|
Who is the Stretch Programme For? The following is a statement used by one schoolAs a school we try to provide opportunities for leadership for all of our students however due to the unique experiences available on the Grass Routes programme we have selected students who may, in the past have lacked the confidence to push themselves forward.
We have also chosen students who whilst confident and enjoy a challenge, would benefit from the opportunity to further develop their soft skills. In particular, we want these children to thrive in team situations and positively interact with an increased range of personalities. |
