The ability to collaborate with others has become one of the most sought-after skills in both education and the workplace. When a group of people pool their knowledge, skills and expertise, talk through problems and debate potential solutions, tasks can be completed more rapidly and effectively. Collaboration is a learning experience for all involved as ideas and expertise are shared, with listening skills playing a vital role in the process. We encourage all our pupils to listen to each other and work together in all aspects of school life, whether on the sports field, in the classroom or on stage.
