Case Study: #WeWill – Christ Church Secondary Academy

Overview

A series of #WeWill project case studies from Christ Church Secondary Academy.

1.In #WeWillCode, Students practised their coding skills and supported one another when getting stuck or when they needed to debug a program.
2.In #WeWillGrow, Students identified what they would like to have in their garden and helped us with the planning and ideas for the project. They created funding proposals which were used in the Ormiston Trust funding application.
3.In #WeWillRecycle, students have taken the lead in deciding which products to make during scrapheap challenges and designing and creating public service announcements to promote recycling at CCSA.
4.In #WeWillCare, students led the design and packing of Operation Christmas Child boxes and a series of charity events, including a Bake Sale, raising £200 for Birmingham Dog’s Trust.
5.In #WeWillCook, students led the designing and cooking of recipes to be included in the cookbook; they then planned the design of the cookbook and created a proposal for publishing the book.
6.In #WeWillSew, students led the designing of repurposed garments.
7.In #WeWillPerform, students led their musical composition groups and the live stream of their performances. They then arranged for this to be watched by the rest of the school via video link.

The Ormiston #WeWill youth social action campaign aimed to empower young people across the Ormiston network and non-Ormiston schools to build relationships and share best practices. Our overall aim was to ensure that young people would drive and determine action and staff would ensure young people were given the skills to succeed, and the chance to engage with other young people to share and develop practice across the country.

Throughout the programme the Ormiston Trust team worked with all core partners and external schools to ensure that, as far as possible, they aligned their delivery to complement the YSA guiding principles. By the end of the current #WeWill YSA programme, 148 schools, involving over 12,500 students from primary and secondary schools took part in over 100 projects which focused on addressing issues regarding the environment, poverty, wellbeing, resilience, health and safety, community cohesion and inclusion and diversity.
