The opening of our new Sixth Form, in its own impressive building, has been very successful and candidates will enjoy the opportunity to be part of the growth of that provision and helping ensure it becomes the first choice for post 16 education by our young people.

We are housed in five state of the art specialist laboratories, five demonstration classrooms and associated ‘prep’ rooms. We also have portable ICT facilities as well as access to the school’s dedicated ICT rooms. In September 2014, Teddington School welcomed its first Sixth Form Intake and the department has gained two new specially designed ‘A’ level laboratories and a Science Physics studio in the purpose built sixth form block. Each Science laboratory and demonstration classroom has an interactive whiteboard and the department works collaboratively to develop their usage. We have an extensive shared area where resources are shared amongst all of the teachers and technicians within the department. We have just invested in new data logging equipment with associated sensors and this is having a significant impact on developing teaching and learning. We also have a science staff work area with associated computers and bank of reference textbooks. The Science department was inspected by OFSTED as part of the subject specific reviews, this work formed part of the Maintaining Curiosity report into Science education in schools. The subject visit inspection looked into four key areas, which included Achievement and Standards, Quality of Teaching and Learning and Leadership and Management. The overall effectiveness was judged to be outstanding. The Curriculum Combined Science is taught throughout the school. The emphasis is on showing how the various areas of Science inter-relate to explain scientific and technological aspects of our lives. In Year 7 to 9 Science is taught in units as part of our ‘in house schemes of work’ which reflect the investigative nature of the Science National Curriculum. We have recently re- written our Key Stage 3 schemes of work in line with the new KS3 curriculum and use Collins KS3 Science as a teaching resource. Setting by ability occurs in Years 7 – 11. To help students get the attention they deserve, we set early in Year 7 using our own school based test, taking account of their primary school SATs scores and teacher assessments. Setting is monitored and reviewed each term. We have a highly sophisticated tracking system within the department which is used to support the whole school marking policy. The department is committed to developing an innovative and flexible curriculum, making full use of the opportunities offered by our new building. At Key Stage 4, most students study the AQA Core Science A specification in Year 10 and in Year 11 the majority of students will study the Additional Science GCSE following the AQA specification. In September 2004, the department introduced separate Science GCSEs following the AQA specification in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. This option is available to the most able students in Science and has been extremely popular, the number of students studying this course has grown year on year. We also introduced BTEC level 2 Extended Certificate in Applied Science for some of our year 11 students, this is aimed for students who would prefer a vocational approach to studying the scientific concepts and this has also been successful as an alternative pathway. The course has now been superseded by BTEC Principles of Applied Science and BTEC Application of Science.

    Wednesday 6th September 2017 Dear Year 6 and Year 5 Parents and Carers, As your children start in Year 6 and Year 5 I know that many of you will have started considering secondary schools. The window for application to a secondary school (local authority, voluntary aided, academy or free school) starting in September 2018 is now open. A leaflet with the key dates is attached to this email and an electronic brochure giving detailed information about all aspects of the process is now available on Richmond Council’s website and can be accessed using the link below: http://www.richmond.gov.uk/media/3066/secondary_admission.pdf This brochure explains exactly what you need to do and when you need to do it, as well as giving information about the schools in Richmond. In addition to the brochure and prior to you making your decision about which schools to apply for, secondary schools offer opportunities to visit and look around. The timetable for Richmond schools’ open mornings and evenings is in the document attached with this letter. These visits offer you the opportunity to meet with the staff and pupils of the schools to find out more and ask questions. Although these are specifically related to the pupils starting secondary in September 2018, parents and carers of children in Year 5 may also wish to attend in order to start thinking about which school they would like their child to attend from September 2019. Several of our parents, whose children are now in secondary, did this when their pupils were in Year 5 and they found the experience helpful.

  • Secondary School Admissions
    TRANSFER TO SECONDARY SCHOOL SEPTEMBER 2020 YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED ABOUT OFFERS I have not been offered any school place. Why is this the case and what will happen next? The offer process starts on 2nd March and continues during the spring and summer until children start school in September 2020. This means that some parents will not be offered a place for their child on 2 March and we realise how disappointing and upsetting that is. However, experience shows us that places become available from movement on waiting lists, as families move out of the area or make alternative arrangements for their child’s education. We will be monitoring your situation closely and while we may not be able to contact you as regularly as we would like, please be assured that we will be keeping a close eye on your child’s progress on waiting lists and looking at alternative options which you may not have considered. We plan the number of school places required according to the number that will be needed for children to start school in September, rather than at the time offers are sent out initially in March. In previous years all initially unplaced children have been placed within a reasonable period of time and we expect the same to be the case this year. We hope that your wait for a school place for your child will be minimal, and we recognise that it is an anxious time. I have been offered a school place that I did not apply for. What can I do? Please make arrangements to visit the allocated school before you make a decision about the place offered.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    Frequently Asked Questions Please note that not every individual question has been answered. Questions have been grouped and the more frequently asked questions have been addressed. We endeavour to answer as many questions as possible. 1. Why was the report delayed? We had no control over the timing of the release of the report by Ofsted, we would have liked this to have been earlier in the Autumn term, we recognise that it has not been helpful that Ofsted delayed the release of the report. We are not clear why the report was delayed so long by Ofsted. 2. Why was the report released on the day after the end of term? Ofsted took the decision that it was not reasonable to publish the report on the last day of term and set the publication date for 5th January. However Ofsted made an error on 21st December and the report was published for a short time on their website on this date. They have apologised to us for this but we feel that because we were aware that some parents had seen the report then it was only fair to send the report to all parents at this time. 3. What will be different in the future? Ofsted instruct the school to publish a detailed plan of how the school will improve things. This is called a Statement of Action. This will be published to parents as soon as it is approved by Ofsted and will include detail on all the actions that will ensure that the school improves and the pupils make rapid progress.

A wide variety of awards were presented including subject prizes and awards for significant contribution to school life, outstanding academic progress and outstanding academic achievement. It was lovely to see around seventy of our ex-pupils back in school sharing their experiences of further education. Our Guest of Honour was British Paralympic Sailor, Alexandra Rickham. Alexandra and her sailing partner won a Bronze medal at the London 2012 Paralympic Games last summer and have also won three World Championship Golds, two World Cup Golds and numerous other international accolades. Alexandra’s speech was truly inspirational and showed how, with hard work and determination, you can overcome adversity. Her life story moved former pupils, staff and parents/carers alike. We all wish her success in her sporting career, including her desire to achieve a Gold Medal at the Rio Paralympics in 2016. I would like to thank Liam Bottriell and Charlie Carter for their rendition of Bruno Mars’s ‘Count on Me’ which was quite beautiful. My thanks go to all the staff who helped in any way in the organisation and running of the evening, particularly Mrs Brooks, Ms Negrotti and Ms Davies.
