Sedbergh School is running this innovative programme with its Year 13 pupils.
The Ivy House Award, which focuses on self-knowledge, self-leadership and self-empowerment, gives pupils the skills, knowledge and confidence to take ownership for their lives and develop a plan to build the kind of future they want.
Mr Dan Harrison, Headmaster of Sedbergh School, said: “We are very excited about the prospect of our Year 13 pupils undergoing the prestigious Ivy House Award programme. The last year has been a very difficult time for all pupils and we want to help equip our leavers with the best possible life skills going forwards. The Ivy House Award will help considerably in this area.”
Kate Lander, CEO, Ivy House London, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Sedbergh School, supporting their Year 13s through The Ivy House Award. Sedbergh have always been trailblazers, leading the way with an extraordinary extra-curricular programme and an incredible focus on whole-person development.”
