Lessons and Preparation for Lessons
Students will enjoy a broad and balanced curriculum which will prepare them for examinations and for later life. Our curriculum is designed to satisfy our four principles of curriculum design;
- to generate curiosity and passion for subjects
- to satisfy the requirements of the narional curriculum or other national or local standards or guidane such as the local SACRE guidance for Religious Education and the recommendations of The PSHE Association for PSHE. GCSE and A level curricula are designed to best meet the specifications for those examinsations.
- to support and be supported by our scholarship curriculum which focuses on ensuring that students develop outstanding habts of learning, and
- to prepare students for later stages such as GCSE, BTEC or A level and thereafter for careers
Students will learn to study, to read effectively, to synthesise information from reading, to recall information, to write well and to explain their thinking. They will learn to manipulate numbers quickly and accurately.
Early in year seven the priority will be to be able to read well and to learn to select and recall the important information from what they read. Students who cannot read well will be taught to do so, so that they catch up quickly.
