Innovation and Leadership
Building on the Godolphin and Latymer Futures programme, which develops future-ready competencies from Year 7 to the Sixth Form, this course offers a rigorous and enriching intellectual experience. Combining interactive projects, including In-House Internships and enterprise simulations, with new and exciting academic content, students will become confident and innovative thinkers who solve complex challenges with creativity, communicate with purpose, and embrace opportunities to shape a better future, wherever their ambitions take them.

Design Thinking
Design Thinking will serve as a shared framework for the project work, guiding students to understand problems deeply, empathise with their audience, generate meaningful ideas, test solutions, reflect, refine, and take action. By becoming more intentional about this process, students will develop proficiency in approaching and navigating complex projects.
