• Faculty Leader: Ms. J Scott

​

The Foundation Learning Faculty is a transition faculty from primary to secondary school that allows pupils who may have areas of weakness in their core subjects to be able to develop and progress at an accelerated rate through smaller teaching groups, with high levels of support.

​

Our aim is to nurture your child’s self-belief, self-respect and enjoyment in learning within a positive, happy and caring environment. The high expectations and exciting learning opportunities will inspire them to accelerate in their learning. Through the support and encouragement of staff and other pupils they will achieve and become a confident, independent learner. If they believe in themselves, they will succeed.

• CURRICULUM AND ASSESSMENT DETAILS

Assessment: Pupils are assessed through MAO’s (major assessment opportunities) at the end of each half term and at regular intervals throughout the term they are given KAO’s (key assessments) which allow them to gain feedback, targets and support to move forward in their learning.

Maths: The maths curriculum in Foundation Learning, builds on the numeracy skills needed to access the KS3 curriculum.

English: The English curriculum is a combination of reading, writing and speaking and listening skills. The skills developed in these lessons will help pupils across other subject areas.
