Years 9 to 11
From the moment a student arrives in Year 9 they will experience a rich and stimulating education designed to meet the aspirations of both an academically gifted intake as well as those who need more support. It aims to offer both breadth and depth in eight key learning areas: Mathematics, Science, English, Modern Languages, Humanities, the Arts, Technology and Physical Education. While the courses within each field are taught separately by subject-specialist teachers, all are designed to emphasise the links between them and between learning and its real world context.
Individual Learning Plans
Individual learning plans form a ‘route map’ of how learners will get from their starting point on a learning journey to the desired end point. They may be for one course and include the acquisition of qualifications and skills, or may link several courses that give progression to the end point. They are individual for each learner to reflect aspirations, aptitude and needs.
All Students embark upon an Individual Learning Pathway which are competency driven rather than age related. Personal Mentors are responsible for tracking student progress throughout the College. Formative and summative assessments form an integral part of the whole process.
Personal Mentoring
On entering the College all students are allocated a Personal Mentor who will meet with them on a regular basis to discuss their individual learning plan. A Personal Mentor will try to convey trust through active, empathetic listening and genuine understanding. This creates a climate of trust which allows students to honestly share and reflect upon their personal experiences as a learner.
