Key Stage 3 Tutor Time Programme 

In addition to the timetabled Citizenship lesson, students also receive weekly PSHE lessons during tutor time. Our PSHE programme equips students with the knowledge needed to live safe, fulfilling lives and make a positive contribution to society. The provision also encompasses purposeful careers education. The tutor time programme is further enhanced through a weekly values-drive assembly and Drop Everything and Read (DEAR) sessions. 

The educational experience of our students is further enriched by our extremely comprehensive and wide-ranging Aspire programme which includes specific character education, assemblies, educational trips, and ‘Bee’ enrichment clubs. Our programme of ‘Bee’ enrichment clubs provides students with a range of opportunities to develop existing interests and uncover new passions.
