Curriculum

By looking at curriculum issues in a rigorous yet
flexible and creative way
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your
balance, you must keep moving”
Albert Einstein
Change is the only way forward

By looking at curriculum issues in a rigorous yet
flexible and creative way
•Constantly update our knowledge of the curriculum offer.
•Collect data about cutting edge practice and assess its
suitability for future cohorts within our school context.
•Use qualitative as well as quantitative data to review
the suitability of our current curriculum offer.
•Network to identify pockets of good practice nationally
and internationally-especially for the delivery of core
subjects.

By developing ICT as a key learning tool to be
integrated in all areas through the VLE
•Re-formulating the core purpose of having a VLE
•Using it as a platform to develop staff’s ICT skills and
students’ independent learning skills
•Monitoring its use-get feedback from students, staff and parents
•Getting students involved through students’ council to develop
more ownership of this tool
•Pilot its use for homework and link it with Faculty lunchtime
activities.
