Curriculum for Life
What
Each week pupils in Years 7-11 will participate in five 30-minute “Form Time" sessions. These sessions take place in the middle of the day. The form time sessions consist of an Assembly, a Collective Worship, a Careers session and 2 Reading sessions. Their wider "Curriculum For Life" sessions will be delivered in one hour a fortnight lessons, by specialised teachers.
Why
We exist to help the help the children, young people, and families in our area to flourish spiritually, academically and personally, so that they experience a long and fulfilling life.
A central part of our Christian Vision is growing in 'stature' - our personal, moral and spiritual development. Because of this, our Curriculum for Life is designed to develop our students personally (e.g. character, interpersonal skills etc) and spiritually (e.g. understanding of self and purpose).
How
We do all things with love; in everything that we do, we try our best to be courageous, to be forgiving, to advance peace and champion equality.
We work together with staff, students, parents and local organisations to provide the very best Curriculum for Life.
The 5 sessions will comprise of:
Spiritual Development
