During Key Stage 3 your daughter has developed her academic skills through studying a broad and balanced curriculum.
However, in addition to her academic portfolio employers and universities will require evidence of:
• her ability to communicate effectively • her ability to show potential as a leader • her ability to work as part of a team • her involvement in school and local community activities
It is crucial that your daughter develops these skills as they will have a pivotal role to play in persuading employers and universities to offer her a job or a university place.
