GREAT lives
Curriculum Intent |
||||||||||
The overall aim of the GREAT lives’ curriculum is to provide pupils with a wide ranging look at life beyond their school experience. We work with both curriculum requirements as set by the government and a plethora of case studies designed to expand the cultural capital of our pupils. The curriculum intent is to help students to engage with lessons, meet the needs of the local community, show understanding and empathy for others and meet our GREAT Values; all in order to succeed in their school careers and beyond. Great Lives is delivered through the tutor programme with Year 7 having an additional hour every fortnight.
If parents have any queries about what their children are studying, please do not hesitate to contact Miss Farrelly for Key Stage 3 and Mr Wilson for Key Stage 4.
