Will my child make friends? Yes, and here’s how

Where friendships start

1

Team-building in Orientation Week, before the year starts, so classmates arrive at the first lesson already knowing names.

2

Daily live lessons and breakout rooms, working with the same classmates in small groups.

3

Paired and group assessments., Working towards a shared mark does more for a friendship than any icebreaker.

4

Clubs and our weekly Social Connect, around shared interests with no grades attached.

5

Termly events that bring the whole school community together.

How we keep learners safe

Verified learners only, with no anonymous accounts

Every space is staff-moderated
