Autumn Term Report: Links with Mainstream Peers

Student volunteers from local mainstream schools join various classes on a weekly basis. They have various responsibilities from mentoring a Perseid learner to general classroom support. They bring a positive peer influence, leading to improved social skills, increased self esteem and broadening the breadth of experience of Perseid the pupils.

Three 6th Form pupils are involved in a community drama production called Beowulf at King’s College. The pupils take part in rehearsals at school with King’s students every Friday, larger whole community production rehearsals at King’s College and the final performance which is scheduled for March 2024. This year, Perseid School are responsible for the 3rd scene when Beowulf was King. Preparing for the performance provides opportunities for pupils to work with students from other schools and further develop their social skills.
