A small group of pupils from year ten enjoyed a guided tour of the new Doncaster Library and Museum building. These pupils are engaging with XP’s rigorous and academically challenging curriculum. Initial ideas for personal research projects include investigations into the social care system, the history of mental health treatment in the UK and the use of music therapy for Alzheimer’s patients. The purpose of this fieldwork was to introduce pupils to the free resources available to help them with their personal research projects. Quiet work spaces, a supportive education team and free wifi make the library building the ideal place for pupils to base themselves to complete their independent study outside of school hours. These pupils are now equipped with library membership, knowledge of how to borrow books and the ability to access online academic journals. These will all be invaluable in helping pupils to Lead Our Own Learning for this ambitious and challenging Project Qualification.
