Further details about the role
Teaching and Learning
Teaching and Learning is at the heart of all that we do, and our personalised professional development programme is centred around our Principles of Teaching. These have been shaped by research from, among others, Barak Rosenshine, John Hattie and Doug Lemov. We also follow a lesson structure shaped around these principles that liberates and enables students to ‘Learn to the Max’ every lesson. We are committed to regular developmental lesson visits and coaching conversations as part of our shared commitment to developing as practitioners.
The Curriculum
The school operates a 50 period two-week timetable. A-level students are taught for 9 hours per fortnight. A-level students follow the AQA specification for Psychology and Sociology. Criminology was introduced in 2021 and has proven to be hugely popular and successful so far. Criminology students study the WJEC level 3 diploma.
