The BOLD 2.0 Programme is the unique personal development and leadership programme at the heart of Sixth Form life at Burgess Hill Girls. It will ensure that Bold Girls leave Burgess Hill Girls equipped with not only exceptional academic qualifications, but with the social, interpersonal and leadership skills required to excel in every capacity in their future.
Our core academic offer ensures that girls can study three of the most valuable A levels to ensure they meet the demands of the most competitive academic degrees. Through the Extended Project, girls have the time and space to think innovatively and independently.
Around this, through 1-to-1 coaching sessions, assemblies, classroom-based training and with the provision of outside speakers and trainers, we will deliver The BOLD 2.0 Programme.
BOLD 2.0 Strands
The programme is structured around eight key elements, organised under the B-O-L-D acronym. Together, these eight elements make up a balanced and personalised leadership journey. Students will reflect on their progress, track their experiences in your BOLD Portfolio, and use what they learn to shape their UCAS application, CV, or personal future plan.
Key Features
1-to-1 Coaching Sessions: These will replace daily tutor registration, allowing for individualised support whilst affording the Sixth Formers with more freedom to manage their own schedule.
Digital sign-in/out System using student lanyards: A further perk of being a sixth former at Burgess Hill Girls is that you are not required to bein school until 20 minutes before your first commitment (whether that is a lesson or a pre-arranged meeting).
BOLD VIVAs: These are a series of one-to-one interviews with Sixth Formers evaluated against professionally and academically informed criteria.
London Induction Day: Year 12 will fulfil an array of challenges as part of their House, engaging with historical, social and cultural aspects of this global city, and further cementing the bonds between the girls.
Higher Education Research and Application: This process is embedded in the programme under the ‘Exploring Opportunities’ element, so every Sixth Former is well-supported in taking command of their own research.
Life Skills and Visiting Speaker Programme: Outside speakers will enliven students’ understanding, with a plethora of valid and valuable perspectives, and Life skills classes will cover topics essential for later success.
