Year 11 students Take the Lead

This academic year, a group of Year 11 students are taking part in Take the Lead, a creative skills programme delivered in partnership with The Old Vic Theatre. Running across 40 London state schools, the programme develops five essential skills – communication, teamwork, self-belief, self-management and problem-solving – through theatre-based workshops.

Designed in collaboration with schools and businesses, the programme helps students take ownership of their next steps after school and prepares them for the world of work. For many, it’s a chance to discover new strengths, boost confidence, and try creative approaches in a supportive environment.

A huge thank you to the Old Vic Theatre team for inspiring our students and helping them discover new strengths and confidence.
