The Lower School
|
| |
Most Year 6 who gain places, will be visited at their Primary schools and
all are invited to an introductory day in July. The form groups get to know
their tutors, each other and the school during the planned induction.
In Key Stage 3 all pupils follow a broadly based course which goes beyond
the statutory National Curriculum by including a second foreign language
(French, German, Spanish or Latin). Activities available in Physical Education
include athletics, dance, gymnastics, hockey, netball, rounders, volleyball,
tennis and swimming. Technology incorporates food, resistant materials and
textiles, whilst ICT is taught in separate lessons as well as being used
across the curriculum. Classes are mainly taught in tutor groups with smaller
numbers in Technology and some setting by ability in Mathematics and Science
in Years 8 and 9.
The Sutton agreed syllabus for Religious Studies covers the major faiths
with an emphasis on Christianity. The course also includes elements of personal,
social, moral and citizenship education. Parents may withdraw their child
from religious education and collective worship if they so wish, though
in practice few do so. Details of alternative arrangements are available
upon request.
