St Mary's Calne is delighted to be included in the Independent Schools Council's annual report, Celebrating Partnerships, for 2020. This report celebrates the cross-sector partnership work between independent and state schools.
The report includes the language learning support which some of our A Level students provided to Priestley Primary, leading a weekly after-school Spanish Club. Spanish has recently been added to the curriculum at Priestley. As a result of this support, the primary school children have grown in confidence, and have developed their understanding of the language.
Our A Level volunteers have also learnt valuable skills, including how to engage their audience and how to plan and deliver a lesson.
