Year 9 Extended Learning
In Year 9, students follow a diverse learning pathway.
In Terms 1 and 2, all Year 9 students will work with an external First Aid training provider. This offers students a hands-on practical learning experience regarding First Aid with a basic first aid certificate accredited after they complete the course. Students have developed important possible life saving skills, as well as team work, communication and leadership skills.
In Terms 3 and 4, all Year 9 students follow a supportive and informative IAG (Information and Guidance) programme that engages and challenges them to think about GCSE and A Level choices and future career plans.
In Terms 5 and 6, all Year 9 students study for the Introduction to British Sign Language qualification www.british-sign.co.uk. At the end of the course, students have a fundamental understanding of what life is like for deaf and hard of hearing people is like and can apply their BSL skills by signing assemblies, school concerts and events.
