This year, we are pleased to launch two brand new projects designed to stretch our Academic Scholars and provide them with real-world research and communication skills.

Year 9: Project Panorama 

For our seven Year 9 Academic Scholars, Project Panorama will select a topic and question of their choice and develop a research proposal for the question. Instead of writing a traditional essay, our scholars will produce 3-5 minute videos on topics they are passionate about. From initial research to final cut, the girls are responsible for the entire creative process:

Researching complex topics of their choice.

Presenting their findings confidently to a camera.

Editing the footage into a professional, cohesive short film.

The project is supported by an ex-BBC Director of Leadership and New Talent.

Year 11: The Research Project

Our nine Year 11 Academic Scholars will select a topic and question of their choice and develop a research proposal for the question. This involves creating and drawing on existing methodologies and assembling an appropriate bibliography. Each pupil will receive 1-1 support from a relevant subject specialist within the NHEHS teaching staff.

Whether they are presenting to camera or diving into research papers, these projects give our scholars a great opportunity to explore their own interests. We look forward to sharing the final videos and research findings with the wider school community later this year.
