Building your C.V

Passing exams is important, but so is a commitment to excellence, a creative streak, the ability to forge positive relationships, confidence, thoughtfulness and trustworthiness.

These attributes are increasingly important in applications to university and employment , so we expect students to devote at least twenty five hours over the year to such activities, and we provide a good range to get you started!  This is invaluable for your C.V. whatever your future plans are.

Challenge Yourself: improve your chances in life!
