Sixth Form & Step – Townsend Church of England School

Over the past two years, it has been a privilege to partner with STEP, expertly led by Helena, who are based at Verso Church, St Albans, in supporting and equipping our Y13 students.

Helena and the team’s commitment to delivering the Blueprint Series has made a powerful impact on our students’ personal development, confidence, and leadership growth.

Through this series, our students have engaged with thought‑provoking and relevant sessions, including:

Identity
Love Languages
Ethical Shopping
Good Shopping Guide
Ethical Chocolate
Why Bother?
Saturday Night Survival Guide

These sessions have prompted rich conversations, encouraged self‑reflection, and provided practical tools to help students navigate life’s big questions with clarity and resilience.

We are incredibly grateful for STEP’s passion, consistency, and heart for young people. Their presence has created a supportive space where students feel empowered to explore who they are, how they interact with others, and how they can become leaders who serve with integrity.

Thank you, STEP, for your remarkable investment in our Sixth Form community. Your partnership has been truly valued, and we look forward to continuing to work together in the years ahead, not to mention the upcoming ALPs conference for our Y12 students!
