Bedford Academy Introduce First Give Into Their English Curriculum
Bedford Academy year 8 students carried out a successful First Give programme in their English curriculum. The lead teacher believed it was an easy fit as the programme develops skills such as public speaking, listening, writing, and holistic research. Learning these key skills was also negatively impacted by the pandemic, so the programme helped recover learning lost.
