For many years, some of our Fifth Form students have benefited from participating in the National Citizenship Service summer programme. Due to COVID-19, last year was a little different, but this year they are offering the same programme they usually do, to both Fifth Form and Lower Sixth students.

This is a fantastic opportunity for these students to get back out into the world with their friends, learn new skills, make even more friends and make a difference in local communities. This year’s NCS programme will either be a two or three-week programme. 

What are the benefits:

•             It’s only £50 for the entire programme, including transport and food for the first two phases (bursaries are available);

•             NCS enhances their CVs;

•             NCS enhances their university applications;

•             NCS is recognised by UCAS and will benefit their personal statements;

•             NCS improves confidence and offers skills essential for starting work;

•             They can gain brand new skills and become more independent;

•             NCS allows students to volunteer to help a worthy cause;

•             Allows them the chance to stay away from home (only available on the three-week programme).

It is an exciting opportunity and not one to be missed. You can secure your place here – https://wearencs.com/.
