The school has been
delivering our Respect agenda throughout the school via assemblies. The Respect
agenda is based on students embracing leadership opportunities throughout their
time in school, which will prepare them well for the world of work/study when
they leave school. It is supported by the House system and all students are
encouraged to participate through the School Council and school initiatives
(such as the Spelling Bee). Leadership encourages a sense of responsibility and
a share in the decision making of the school where appropriate. Current
projects include investigating whether we introduce a Prefect System, various
School Environment projects – Marlwood’s version of ‘Dragons Den’ where students bid for funding
for projects based on ideas worked through by students, and the Bright Futures
Careers initiative which helps our students understand career pathways, and
gives support with CVs and mock interviews.
