Jul 1 Reflecting on our core: CREST, Project and PSHEE

As part of our summer reports, we provided the students with the opportunity to include their voice on their reports. We did this through the students writing a reflection on their learning in three of our ungraded subjects: CREST, Project and PSHEE. The three subjects really develop a core of learning at Landmark, giving the students the opportunity to develop their creativity and their approaches to learning. In this blog we have included reflections from two of our year 9 students Alicia and Sara.
