Curriculum Booklet

Year 11

2018-19

Year 11

Dear Parents and Students

As part of our drive to raise standards and support learning we have compiled

a Curriculum Booklet for Year 11. This document provides you with an

overview of the year for each of the subjects your son or daughter takes

during this year.

Knowing which topics are coming up each half term will enable students to

plan ahead. Parents who have a particular interest in subjects may wish to

talk to their sons and daughters about those topics to nurture their interest.

Curriculum Leaders have added helpful material, web pages and internet

links to support further study and investigation. In some cases there may be

places to visit which might deepen the understanding of particular topics.

These enrichment activities will enable all students to move forward ‘at a

pace’ towards success as they move through the school.

Finally, as you know we are keen to encourage further reading and we have

put together an extended reading list for the students to use when they are

looking for something good to read. Mrs Campbell in the LRC is always

available to recommend material however your local library will also have a

wide variety of books appropriate for particular age groups.

We hope that you find this booklet helpful in supporting your son or

daughter’s learning in 2017/18. If you have any concerns or questions about

a specific subject please don’t hesitate contact the subject teacher.

Yours sincerely

Mrs J Pitman Headteacher
