Teaching time

The teaching time per week including Religious Education but excluding the daily act of worship, registration and breaks is 25 hours. This is in accordance with government expectations.

Lessons are 60 minutes duration. In a typical day there may be five different lessons. However, double lessons are timetabled for practical subjects and others as appropriate which allows pupils to undertake longer tasks and investigations.

Stevie Lyle (ex-pupil)
Stevie Lyle has left the Cardiff Devils for a third time, Netminder Stevie has signed for Findus British National League club Guildford Flames. Great Britain goalie Stevie, 23, spent three seasons with the Devils and was a key player as they won the inaugural Superleague title in 1996-97. He moved to North America and played for Plymouth Whalers, returning to Cardiff for another three seasons between 1998-2001.
He moved on again for 2001-2002, joining Manchester Storm. When they folded midway through last season, Stevie returned to the Cardiff Devils. Stevie and former pupil Kate now have a young son called Dylan. We will follow his career with interest.

School Assemblies

These are delivered within the framework indicated in the Education Reform Act 1988. These are acts of collective worship and are of a broadly Christian character. They are presented within an agreed policy.

If on religious grounds, parents should wish to withdraw their children from collective worship and / or religious education classes they should make a formal written request to the head teacher.

Organisation of teaching groups

We have been more successful in delivering the National Curriculum when teaching groups are organised on an ability pattern. However, such groups still offer a range of abilities within them and thus allow :

  • motivation by example from others
  • pupil progression through the National Curriculum at a sensible rate
  • the opportunity to offer more directed support if necessary
  • flexibility of movement

Equal opportunities

The school has a policy which permeates its routines and planing including that of curriculum delivery.
