Faith Class 

The Faith Class will provide students with practical experience and equip them with skills and knowledge to support their future aspirations. Through a menu of workshops, additional language subjects and enrichment activity, our girls are challenged and mentored to prepare and succeed.

At La Retraite we want to make sure our students have access to opportunities that enrich their already outstanding education. One way we do this is through the  Faith Class, which seeks to extend the chance for our students to broaden horizons, develop new interests and extend their skillsets.

The Faith class runs throughout the school, right from Year 7 through to the Year 11, meaning students can access different opportunities as they get older. They then can go onto be involved in the Access Project (for more information on The Access Project, visit their website) The Access Project

In addition to the activities, students can access a programme of events, workshops, conferences, and trips, including visits to Oxbridge and Russell Group universities, subject-specific conferences, in-house guest speakers, skills and employability workshops, and careers showcases.

Within their Faith Class sessions, students will take part in the following activities.

Years 7 & 8

Students are enrolled into our Faith grammar class in Year 7-9 andwork on building a personal portfolio of the events, achievements, and opportunities they have enjoyed. Working with the Unifrog platform, students will undertake a range of extra-curricular activities which will enable them to grow as individuals and give them experience in leadership, organisation, resilience, initiative, and communication.

Year 9

Students will undertake - structured courses provided by leading universities in a wide range of subjects and topics. Students can choose any course that suits their interests and complete the course in their own time and working at their own pace.  Students will also attend the Livery showcase 

Year 10

Year 10 students attend Streatham and Clapham High School every Thursday to undertake the GCSE Classics course.
