Successful Futures, Curriculum for Life:

As we are starting to prepare for the ‘Successful Futures’ new curriculum in 2022, Pupil Voice is extremely important in Class 16S.  We are all given the opportunity to suggest ways to learn and what we would like to learn throughout the curriculum.

This term some lessons will be taught for longer periods of time, not just for an hour a week. During this term we will be having an R.E. themed week based on Hinduism
