ASPIRE
Invicta's ASPIRE Programme
“All Individuals will flourish and fulfil their potential; they will be equipped and willing to succeed in a modern, global society while having respect for themselves, others and the environment”
The Aspire Programme involves identifying, nurturing and equipping our most able students to achieve their full potential and be aspirational.
The Invicta Personal Development Journey goes hand in hand with our Aspire programme as it outlays the myriad of opportunities available as our students progress through the school. Examples of these opportunities for each year group are shown below:
