Careers in Law! 👩‍⚖️✨ Last half term, students from both Bacon’s College and the John Roan School were selected to take part in a legal careers project in partnership with QEB Hollis Whiteman Chambers. Over the course of four sessions, students worked closely with legal professionals who guided them through the process of preparing and delivering a full mock trial! Opportunities like this not only deepen students’ understanding of the justice system but also help them build confidence, develop critical thinking skills, and explore career pathways they may not have previously considered. A huge thank you to QEB Hollis Whiteman Chambers! Students had the best time and gained valuable experience. 💙💚 #thejohnroanschool #baconscollege #careersinlaw #law #barrister

Our students’ voices matter - and our latest student survey results are here. ✨ Almost every student in our school feels they’ll be successful not just in school, but in life as a whole. At The John Roan School, in addition to academic success, we place strong emphasis on personal development. We aim to nurture well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to their communities. 💚 #thejohnroanschool #thejohnroansixthform #greenwich #educationwithcharacter #secondaryschoolsuccess

Cold Calling! 🗣️ You may hear your child mention cold calling. This is a questioning technique where teachers select students to answer, rather than relying on volunteers. Cold calling ensures that all students remain engaged and prepared to contribute. It allows teachers to check the understanding of all students in the classroom. Importantly, if a student is unsure, they are supported — either through guidance from the teacher or by hearing from another student before returning to the question. This approach builds confidence and ensures every child can succeed. #thejohnroanschool #Greenwich #howwelearn #johnroansixthform #johnroan
