At Claremont, we place our students at the heart of their own learning, encouraging them to try new things and develop new talents, as well as becoming masters of what they already know. Our aim is to help them develop confidence and the co-curricular programme is a huge part of that.
The Claremont co-curricular programme is inspired by the eight key skills highlighted nationally as important for university or apprenticeship courses and ultimately future careers:
- Leadership: Supporting, encouraging and developing others to achieve a shared goal
- Listening: Carefully listening to verbal information and interpreting the meaning
- Speaking: The oral transmission of information or ideas
- Problem Solving: The ability to find a solution to a situation or challenge
- Creativity: The use of imagination and the generation of new ideas
- Staying Positive: The ability to use tactics and strategies to overcome setbacks and achieve goals
- Aiming High: The ability to set clear, tangible goals and devise a robust route to achieving them
- Teamwork: Working cooperatively with others towards achieving a shared goal
