There has never been a more exciting time for your child to join our wonderful,vibrant educational establishment. We aim to give all our students the best possible start in life and that means inspiring them with our teaching to progress and learn every single day they are with us. In our school we focus on understanding what motivates young people to learn and share their knowledge and facilitate and sustain learning situations that require young people to discover how to do things. This we believe is an essential ingredient for the preparation of young people for life in today’s world.

Guided Reading: Using a scheme of work which uses a wide variety of genres, both fiction and non-fiction, our guided reading sessions allow children to access, interpret and understand what they are reading. This increases the child’s knowledge of why certain words are chosen by an author and gives the reader a chance to speculate on the tone and purpose of texts. The five thinking and reasoning skills students are taught are: literal thinking; deductive reasoning; inferential skills; evaluative assessment of texts; and study skills which promote wider independent study.
They work over an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging, and complex question, problem, or challenge. Students will demonstrate their knowledge and skills by creating a public product or presentation. As a result, students develop deep content knowledge as well as critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication skills.
Crafts: A Highly engaging course, students are encouraged to inspire each other and challenge themselves, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to experiment, invent and create their own works of art, craft and design. Students critically develop a more rigorous understanding of art and design throughout the year and use a range of materials and techniques to create their own masterpieces. Working with different materials from wood, glass to clay, and engaging in a range of art techniques by using colour, patterns, texture and shape, students produce creative works of art by exploring ideas and recording their experiences along the way.

Science Double Award:
- The Science IGCSE is a double award qualification, meaning it is worth two International GCSEs instead of one, this is because it combines the study of physics, chemistry and biology together in one handy course.
This qualification will equip students with a solid understanding of some of science’s core principles and theories.
Single Awards- Biology, Chemistry, Physics:
- The Science single award qualifications mean they are all worth one International GCSE each, and in turn, also means there will be more content to cover.
We will work with students and parents to choose which qualification is best suited to them, this will be decided as they progress through the course.
Practicals: Throughout the courses, there will be a mixture of both theoretical and practical science.
Although there is no practical examination for the IGCSEs, the exams will include written questions on practical based study.
Practical work helps to develop a student’s skills for the practical-based components of the theory exams, we will aim to carry out most of the practical components within the courses, subject to equipment and facilities available.
