Teaching, Learning and Assessment

Our Teaching, Learning and Assessment Vision:

“Students enthusiastically engage in outstanding teaching and learning opportunities, leading to excellent progression and outcomes for all learners”

To achieve this vision, we have high expectations of our students:

Our Learner Profile sets out these expectations:

Effective Learner

engage in all lessons; make a positive contribution
produce classwork and homework to the best of ability

demonstrate resilience when adversity is met

Equipment

Having the correct equipment for every lesson is the responsibility of each student. Each student should have access to their own:

Writing pen (blue/black ink)

Pencil, sharpener and rubber

30cm ruler

Geometry set and pair of compasses

Scissors and glue stick

Lined paper

Colouring pens/pencils

Highlighters

Scientific calculator

Purple pen for RAFT (see section 7)

Education is most effective when students, the School and parents all work together towards a common goal.

As such, we expect the following of parents:

Reinforce the School’s vision with their son/daughter and create a positive learning environment at home.

Support their son/daughter with their study routines, whilst being mindful not to do the work for them to promote resilience and independence.

Communicate any feedback with the School.
