Students across the whole school study general music
once every two weeks, and have the opportunity for an
extra whole-class music lessons through the options
curriculum.
In these lessons the core aim is to build students’
musical ‘thinking skills’, that is their understanding of
how music works, through the development of
instrumental, vocal and general performance work.

• All students study Spanish for three hours per fortnight, in
two 90 minute lessons.
• In the first term the year 7s have been focusing on the topic
of themselves, learning how to recognise and give
information about their names, ages, birthdays and family.
They have also been working on their speaking and listening
skills
• Grammar is a vital part of learning a language but is
incorporated into the topics instead of learning it as a
separate subject.
• The pupils also have the exciting opportunity of a Spanish
assistant who has been taking them out of lesson for 15/20
minutes of small group conversation. This has proven a big
hit!
• It is really important to reinforce what has been studied
in a Spanish lesson at home, so homework is set
every lesson.
• All the year 7s have been given a homework booklet
and often their homework is a couple of pages from
this book, to work on what they did in the lesson and
check they understood it.
• Vocabulary learning is also a common homework and
it is one that parents are encouraged to help with!
• The pupils are assessed in all four skills: listening,
speaking, reading and writing, and each skill is worth
25% of their overall grade.
Debating is run through the Debate
Mate programme, where mentors
from top universities come to coach
our students.
Debating gives students:
• More confidence
• Above-average progress in
Science, English and Humanities

other schools
• Enjoyment!

requesting films for future screenings.
Muay Thai encourages physical fitness , develops strength and balance, and promotes self discipline.
Students will have a weekly lesson in Thai boxing delivered by a visiting instructor from Keddle’s Gym (based in Orpington). This club has an established history of training title holders in a variety of different martial art disciplines but its foundations are based in Muay-Thai. The gym has produced a number of European and World Champions.
• Pupils learn about a variety of Genres
This enrichment subject encourages students to think differently and reflect on how they can make a difference in their local community.
• Running and other forms of aerobic
exercise do so much good for our minds
and bodies
• Running and the ability to maintain
activity for a length of time are vital skills
that can be applied to a number of other
sports, making running a good training
technique for a variety of athletes.
Additionally, running qualifies as a life
sport; one in which participants are
likely to maintain over their life spans.
