  • Dates & Events Head Lines…
    Dates & Head lines…. Newsletter May 2017 Dear Parents, Events I want to take this opportunity to let you know about changes that will be taking place to the school’s timetable for the next school year from September 2017. Last March I wrote Term ends to you to introduce our new school vision and what we are trying to accomplish for our Friday 26 May young people. At the heart of their educational experience in school is the curriculum that Term 6 starts we offer and how this curriculum is taught through the school’s timetable. In recent years Monday 5 June the school has responded to the national reforms to the curriculum at GCSE. As a consequence I have seen how our current timetable structure has not helped an Year 7 Information Evening increasing number of students achieve their first choice combination of subjects that they Monday 12 June would like to study in Years 10 and 11. The 50 minute lesson length has been crucial here. Subjects needing a longer lesson length of 100 minutes, a double period, have had Year 11 Final Assembly to be grouped together on the timetable and this has limited access to a range of these Thursday 15 June subjects for some students. To resolve this issue we are moving to a timetable structure, used by the majority of Open Morning schools including most neighbouring schools. The lesson length is extended to one hour Wednesday & Thursday and five periods are taught in the day, rather than our current six periods. All subjects in 21 & 22 June 9am to 11am Years 7 to 11 teach within one hour lessons.
