Here at TGS, we wish to offer our students who want to push themselves to the greatest heights, the opportunity to do so; and for this reason, we created the Gatwick High-Flyer programme, which is open for applications each year for students from Year 8 upwards.
Students may apply for this programme through sixteen different routes, such as being able to show that they are a High-Flyer Historian, Mathematician, Performer or Linguist or that they are a High-Flyer Leader or Entrepreneur, for example. Candidates complete an online application and attend group interviews and team building activities.
Successful applicants then earn the distinction of wearing the High-Flyer insignia on their uniform and are invited to attend four events each term. These include in-school activities - such as masterclasses and lectures on topics beyond the standard curriculum - as well as off-site visits to inspiring locations across Sussex and London.
In this way, students broaden their horizons, and develop their collaborative skills, as they work together to better their chances and choices in the future.
