" This year, despite all the difficult circumstances with Covid, Blacon High School is really proud to receive the Skills Builder Bronze Award. The English Department have worked really hard in introducing Skills Builder with the Year 7s and this hard work has been rewarded with this award. We now hope to roll the Skills Builder programme across other faculties to build on this achievement and work towards the Silver Award. Well done to all ”
Miss Thomas
"All the schools and colleges who have achieved a Skills Builder Award this year have demonstrated that they are committed to ensuring that every one of their students builds the essential skills to succeed. These essential skills have been needed more than ever this year: speaking, listening, teamwork, leadership, creativity, problem solving, aiming high, and staying positive. We congratulate them on a brilliant achievement.”
