The more effort you give, the more commitment you show, the more opportunities you’ll make, the further you’ll go.

Tutor Curriculum

Relationship and Sex Education

This has been a compulsory part of the Tutor Time curriculum and has facilitated a greater understanding of a range of subjects including ‘consent and the law’ and ‘sexting.’ The Y10 Tutor Team and I have been really impressed with the maturity and thoughtfulness shown by all the students whilst covering such topic areas.

CEIAG/Careers Curriculum 

Monday 7 February marked National Apprenticeship week with Y10 looking at what apprenticeships are, the different levels of apprenticeships, what qualifications students need to access each level, and the qualifications they can achieve. In addition to this, students looked at the pros and cons of apprenticeships and accessed some real life stories of students for whom apprenticeships have been a successful route on the flightpath to their future.

Student Leadership-  CEIAG

Jess and Leo have been giving some independence to the Y10 Careers Leaders and they have been researching the sorts of jobs each year group can undertake. We will be sharing this with the different year groups over the coming term. Part-time jobs are an important opportunity for students to develop their independence and employability skills, and can enhance their CV for their future career pathway.

The team are also working on a variety of templates and strategies to support students in developing CV writing skills, which will be shared with the different year groups again over the coming term.

RE Mock Exam

The RE mock exam is taking place on Wednesday 16 February. This is another opportunity for students to practice exam questions under exam conditions, to identify areas for further revision focus, and to develop revision strategies to move their learning forward so that they can maximise their opportunity for the best success in the summer.

Rewards and celebration

The Christmas Celebration Assembly saw a whole variety of success within the year group. The following students in particular evidenced the very best of achievement in attainment, achievement, effort and leadership.

Christmas Hampers 

Tutor groups rallied to create Christmas hampers which were delivered to a variety of worthy recipients including FareShare Midlands, Craighaven nursing home and the Salvation Army. We received some wonderful correspondence of gratitude and supporting our community is an important part of NLS life.
