Critchill School have become the first school in the UK for students with special educational needs to achieve ‘Learn to Lead Gold Award’ Status.
Learn to Lead is a whole school initiative where pupils self-elect into teams of their choice. It gives students the opportunity to grow in confidence and self-esteem whilst taking ownership of what happens in their school. The school has seven teams currently running, including film, dance, gardening and uniform.
The school celebrated with a garden party where Michael Eavis presented the Gold Award with the co-founder and executive director of Learn to Lead, Susan Piers-Mantell.
