Foundation Year
Pupil Passport
The FY curriculum (Yr 9) reform for 2019- 20 was launched in September 2019
and includes each of the FY developing an interest or skill of their own. From September 2019, the most able FY pupils will be taken one evening every other week for a teacher-led presentation/ lecture, followed by discussion on an area of academic interest. In alternate weeks, the same able cohort will meet for pupil-led discussion, following up
on research they will have been set the previous week.
Weekly Academic clinics are offered in a vast range of subjects, with the remainder offering additional support on an appointment basis.
