  • Barclay's Life skills​​​​​​​

    Published 27/02/24

    On the 20th February, students from Post-16 took part in a workshop run by Barclay's Life Skills.

    In the Post 16 tutor curriculum we have been focussing on how to successfully prepare for job applications.

    We have spent time this week looking at how to write a cover letter, and the workshop supported this by unpicking how to write an effective CV.

    Students saw examples of CVs (good and no so good!) and have now been given the tools to write their own CV.

    RE Youth Speaks - Regional Senior Competition

    After winning the Youth Speaks District debating competition, the President Kennedy School team moved on to compete in the Regional Senior Competition, held at Campion School on Sunday 11th February. 

    Isla, Mason and Alisha debated on the topic of ‘Cancel Culture.’ They competed against five schools from around Warwickshire.

    It was a fantastic event with each team putting forward convincing debates. President Kennedy School once again secured first place at the competition. Judges remarked that the team impressed them with their memorisation of the debate, their definitions of ‘cancel culture terminology’ and the statistics and examples they use to support each side of the discussion. 

    The team will be now moving on to compete in the next round of the competition

  • Post 16 Students Win First Place in Debating Competition

    Published 08/02/24

    On Friday 2nd February, Mason, Isla and Alisha represented President Kennedy School in the Youth Speaks debating competition, hosted by the Rotary Club. 

    The team competed against seven other secondary schools in Coventry and Warwickshire with a debate on the topic of ‘Cancel Culture.’ 

    The team discussed whether cancel culture provides a service in ensuring accountability in society, or if it is a detriment to mental health. 
    Isla was the chairperson who introduced and summarised the debate, whilst Alisha proposed that cancel culture was helpful and Mason the team with the opposing argument. 

    The President Kennedy School team won first place, with judges commenting that students performed an engaging debate with a sophisticated line of argument. The judges were impressed by each student’s confidence and their ability to captivate the audience with their enthusiasm and big smiles. 

    The team will go onto compete in the district finals on Sunday 11th February.

  • Shrek Jr - Year 7 Perform to a Packed Auditorium

    Published 05/02/24

    Year 7 students took to the stage in Shrek Junior - The Musical.

    They worked so hard and showed such passion and determination. The cast performed to a sell-out audience over two nights and every student involved rose to the occasion.

    There was much talent on stage - it was hard to believe these students are eleven and twelve years old with only a few week’s worth of rehearsals under their belt!

    A massive well done to all - a proud Performing Arts department!

    Miss Walsh, Leader of Performing Arts
