Opening Minds

 

Opening Minds is a skills-based subject delivered to all students in Year 7.  The programme actively supports transition from primary school and seeks to allow students to reflect on and develop their own personal learning toolkit.  Leadership, organisation, resilience, initiative and communication are the five areas on which students will focus throughout the year.  These personal characteristics then underpin their learning and progress throughout their time at Frogmore.
