A Typical Day in Upper School (Years 7 and 8)
|
- To encourage better organisation – pupils do not carry bags around school but revisit their lockers at various points of the academic day to ensure they have the correct stationery and books to take to each block of lessons.
- To foster a culture of independent learning Form Tutors undertake PALS – Personal Achievement and Learning Skills and Independent Study in Y7 and Y8 with their classes on a weekly basis.
