Hart SCHOOL CURRICULUM, HOMEWORK AND EXAMINATIONS Hours spent on teaching: = 25 per week Timing of School Day 8.30am – 3.20pm (1.15-2.15pm lunch) Ethos and Values within our School The ethos of Chosen Hill encourages young people to have high expectations of themselves, not just in academic terms, but in all areas of their development including moral, spiritual, cultural and social. Our aim is to foster a sense of community based upon the concepts of honesty, respecting the rights and views of others and pride in achievement. Pastoral care arrangements look to the personal and social needs of students and there is a rich and varied programme of activities that develop social and moral awareness. Through Religious Education lessons and school assemblies students are encouraged to think and reflect upon spiritual issues. The school strongly encourages students to develop for themselves a set of socially acceptable values and principles which govern their behaviour. Discipline is firm but fair and there is a clearly defined system for dealing with disciplinary issues. Self-discipline and taking responsibility for one’s actions are also strongly encouraged. ‘Every Child Matters’ (Green Paper, 2003) – sets out the Government’s proposals for reforming the delivery of services for children, young people and families. There are 5 priorities. - Being healthy - Making a positive contribution - Staying safe - Economic well-being - Enjoying and achieving Their vision of a ‘joined up’ service for children already has strong grounding at CHS with our pastoral and guidance systems. Curriculum Arrangements for Key Stage 3 (Years 7-9) (228 students) Students are organised into 2 groups of equal ability. Group 1 (CHOSEN) has four classes in it. Group 2 (HILL) also has four groups. Year 7 – The Transition Year Students are taught in their tutor groups which are mixed ability but they are set by ability for Mathematics. During the year students are assessed using NFER CATS testing and teacher assessments to determine their sets in Years 8 and 9.

  • Secondary School and Academy Admissions
    Secondary School and Academy Admissions INFORMATION BOOKLET 2021/2022 For children born between 1st September 2009 and 31st August 2010 Page 1 Schools Information Admission number and previous applications This is the total number of pupils that the school can admit into Year 7. We have also included the total number of pupils in the school so you can gauge its size. You’ll see how oversubscribed a school is by how many parents had named a school as one of their five preferences on their application form and how many of these had placed it as their first preference. Catchment area Some comprehensive schools have a catchment area consisting of parishes, district or county boundaries. Some schools will give priority for admission to those children living within their catchment area. If you live in Gloucestershire and are over 3 miles from your child’s catchment school they may be entitled to school transport provided by the Local Authority. Oversubscription criteria If a school receives more preferences than places available, the admission authority will place all children in the order in which they could be considered for a place. This will strictly follow the priority order of their oversubscription criteria. Please follow the below link to find the statistics for how many pupils were allocated under the admissions criteria for each school - https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/education-and-learning/school-admissions-scheme-criteria- and-protocol/allocation-day-statistics-for-gloucestershire-schools/. We can’t guarantee your child will be offered one of their preferred schools, but they will have a stronger chance if they meet higher priorities in the criteria.

  • Parent Support | Health & Education Offer
    Parent Support | Health & Education Offer We know that parents and carers play a central part in helping their children to develop and grow up well, and it isn’t always an easy job. At some point, everybody needs help and within Gloucestershire, there is a range of support available for parents and carers worried about their child or young person’s emotional wellbeing and how this affects their behaviour. Sometimes parents might just need one-off immediate support, and at other times, they may feel they could benefit from more structured, long term support. The table below details the range of support available in the county ranging from online resources, helplines or chat rooms, and support and information groups. Please note, everything on offer aims to help a parent better support their child’ or young person’s mental health and wellbeing, rather than their own. Support for a parent’s own mental health and wellbeing can be accessed through the Let’s Talk service or contacting their GP. Let’s Talk services are free and can be accessed by calling the free phone number 0800 073 2200 or completing the online referral form: https://www.talk2gether.nhs.uk/contact-us/.

Dear Parent(s) or Guardian(s) Welcome to the new school year and a particularly warm welcome to our 228 new Yr. 7 students and 31 new staff. Last term a number of staff gained extremely well-deserved promotion and a few, equally well-deserved, retirement, so we are joined this year by an unusually large number of new staff. We are delighted to be fully staffed and to have attracted such strong fields to our vacancies. Most of our students have now had a lesson in, or a tour of, our excellent new Sports Hall. This was completed exactly to schedule and is a superb new facility for both the school and the community. My very particular thanks to those parents who have covenanted to this project. We will celebrate at a grand opening on October 6th. Our Hall is to be known as The Winwood Hall. I will write to you with full details nearer this special event. We are also pleased, under the skilled management of our new Site Manager, Mr. Middlecote, and his team, to have made extremely good progress in upgrading teaching areas. English, Science and Lower School have been extensively refurbished and the Sixth Form suite redecorated, and a new floor put down.
