5 students completing an online accredited course linked to either business or computer science
8 students studying for the extended project qualification
4 students volunteering at a local hospice
7 students using the online platform, Busuu, to self-study a language
11 students going into lesson to support key stage three students with their reading
3 students supporting the PE department with lower school sport
