Sir Roger Manwood's School
The Curriculum
|
|
The School follows the National
Curriculum. Pupils take the full range of subjects in their first three years,
including French and German. Teaching takes place in form-groups most of the
time, but smaller units are created for Science, Technology, Art and Games and
P.E.
After
three years pupils choose their GCSE courses and are entered for nine and a
half or ten subjects at the end of Year 11.
In the Sixth Form students take
four, occasionally five 'AS' levels in the Lower Sixth.
In the Upper Sixth they pursue
four, sometimes five 'A' levels including General Studies and also take the Key
Skills Qualification.
Careers teaching is time-tabled
within the Personal and Social Education programme, and form-tutors are heavily
involved in careers advice at every level, including the preparation of Higher
Education references.
The Pastoral System
Pastoral care is provided through Form Tutors and Year Heads. There are also two senior staff who have Student Welfare as part of their duties.
A
structured Personal and Social Education programme operates in all years. Sixth
Formers are encouraged to help in a number of areas with Junior classes and a
'buddying' system operates in Years 7 and 8.
