Progress through learning and teaching

The Curriculum

Year 7 learners  join one of three learning "pathways" which offer a curriculum and methods of assessment closely suited to their abilities.

In KS4 besides following statutory courses, we offer a mixture of traditional GCSEs and more vocational options such as BTecs. A small number of learners also have the opportunity for extended work experience placements. As a Specialist Science College, gifted and talented learners have the opportunity to study separate sciences and all other learners take double science.

Independent learning is actively encouraged at all times. Learners have access to the Learning Resource Centre and the computer suites, both throughout the day and after school, where staff are available to assist. Learners are encouraged to use on-line learning programmes and to access KS4 and KS3 revision guides and web sites.

A First Class Learning Environment

Our good quality learning environment now includes:

  • 5 fully equipped ICT rooms
  • Recently refurbished Science, Mathematics, Food Technology, English, MFL, Art facilities and Music
  • The PE area includes Sports Hall and extensive playing fields
  • Music Block with practice rooms
  • Following the fire in October 2008, the school has high quality Portakabin teaching areas for Pathways, Dance, Drama and Learning Resource Centre
  • The separate Technology Block includes Design Studios with Computer Aided Design/ Computer Aided Manufacture facilities and a Textiles Suite
  • A specialist teaching block for History and PSCHE

 

THE SCHOOL IS PROUD OF ITS LINKS WITH OTHER LOCAL SCHOOLS THROUGH THE NORTH EAST LEARNING COMMUNITY AND OF ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH BOTH PONTEFRACT NEW COLLEGE AND WAKEFIELD COLLEGE.
