Skills Builder
Stanground Academy is delighted to have been chosen to work with the Skills Builder Partnership as a participant school of the Skills Builder Accelerator in the 2024-25 academic year.
Skill development is a core part of the Stanground Academy personal development strategy, with the Bronze award achieved in the 2023-24 academic year.
We will be developing students’ essential skills in the following areas:
- Listening
- Speaking
- Problem-solving
- Creativity
- Staying positive
- Aiming high
- Leadership
- Teamwork
Each skill has a series of Skills Builder level descriptors, so students are constantly developing their skills to higher levels.
- Delivery of the Skills Builder Programme will take place through:
- Explicit teaching of skills in personal development lesson time.
- Development and rehearsal of skills in form time.
- Deliberate practice of skills in curriculum time and extracurricular activities.
- Evidencing of skills development through the Unifrog platform.
