TIPS Week (Thinking Innovatively and Problem Solving) is a three day festival of bespoke workshops unique to Francis Holland which are specially designed for Year 7, 8 and 9 pupils. The workshops aim to challenge and inspire our girls to tackle a diverse set of problems in groups, and individually, with an emphasis on our 7 C’s: Confidence, Commitment, Craftsmanship, Communication, Curiosity, Collaboration and Creativity. TIPS takes place in the Summer Term as an alternative to the traditional exam week.
The workshops offered are diverse and varied including: Film Making, Stage Make-up, Escape Rooms, TaskMaster, Embroidery and First Aid Essentials. We have engaging day trips, utilising the wealth of culture London provides, some specialists are brought into deliver exciting projects, but many projects are delivered by our own talented staff.
Throughout the week the girls are encouraged to take risks, reflect, collaborate and commit to the challenges presented. Here are some comments from the girls themselves:
