RSHE:
Through our tutorial programme students receive 40 minutes of RSHE per week, as well as three drop down days across the academic year. The RSHE curriculum has a thematic approach, allowing students to develop their knowledge in an age-appropriate manner and helping them to become inclusive learners. All tutors are provided with specialist training to ensure they can deliver challenging topics effectively. In the first RSHE lesson of the week, students are delivered key content by the tutor, which is then followed up and reviewed in lesson 2 through debates and discussions.
For further information on our RSHE curriculum please view the RSHE section HERE.
The Big Read:
The aim of The Big Read is to develop and sustain reading habits that equip students with the experiences and understanding of themselves and the world around them needed to succeed. Each year group has a number of age appropriate books to read across the academic year. These are read by the tutor to model effective reading. Once the book has been read students engage in book reviews which they share with the year group. This is in addition to students completing their own independent reading.

- The Night Diary
- Island
- The Infinite
Year 8:
- When stars are scattered

Assembly Programme:
