Exciting News from Plumstead Manor Sixth Form! 🌟
We’re delighted to announce that Plumstead Manor School has again secured 30 exclusive places on The Old Vic’s “Take the Lead” programme — a fantastic opportunity for our Year 12 students!
Designed by the renowned Old Vic Theatre in Waterloo, this programme uses drama techniques and creative workshops to help young people develop five key employability skills:
✨ Communication
✨ Teamwork
✨ Problem‑solving
✨ Self‑belief
✨ Self‑management
Alongside skill‑building, Take the Lead puts a strong focus on well‑being and self‑esteem, offering activities that support students’ mental health and personal growth.
Our Year 12s will take part in two in‑school workshops and also visit the London headquarters of the Old Vic’s Principal Partner, Royal Bank of Canada, for a dynamic recruitment relay experience.
We’re incredibly proud to offer this inspiring opportunity — helping our young people lead, create and thrive.
