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.

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.
