Our Curriculum
Find out more about us
In Years 10 and 11, students are generally set by ability, albeit in very small year groups. The maximum size for all classes is 24 – significantly lower than the national average. There is a strong emphasis on teacher-led differentiation and targeted intervention lessons for any student not progressing as they should.
Our staff know our students exceptionally well and support them to achieve.
We know teenagers work better at school. We have responded to this by giving students 50 mins of calm, quiet work at the start of every day. During this time they consolidate what they have learnt and every day starts with meaningful work and focus. It also means less arguments at home! PREP is at 9.10am and lessons do not start until 10.00 – which is scientifically proven to be better for teenage learning.
Our attention to student wellbeing and behaviour has been judged as outstanding. Underpinning all students’ lessons and our excellent extra-curricular is a highly effective and unique personal coaching programme: all Year 10 and 11 students meet with a personal coach regularly to discuss their learning and ambitions and how they will achieve their goals. Every single student at Logic is an individual.
Excellent relationships between staff, students and parents are at the heart of our school’s success. Alongside parents’ evenings and formal reports sent home, weekly effort and attendance data is sent to all of our students so they can reflect on their progress. We pride ourselves on regular friendly, open and honest conversations and staff will contact you with updates on your child’s progress. We always celebrate success and respond quickly and fairly when there are problems.
Careers guidance for young people should inspire and motivate them to fulfil their potential. One of the best ways to inspire every pupil is through the creation of real-life contacts with the world of work to help them better understand where different choices can take them in the future. Our CEIAG is outstanding and we have a proven track record of supporting students to successful university, degree apprenticeship, apprenticeship and employment pathways.
It is important that students are assessed regularly so that they are given the opportunity to apply their class-based understanding to the types of questions they will receive in external examinations. In addition to in-class assessment (Portfolios) there are also three periods of mock examinations. These take place in June of Year 10 and December and March of Year 11. At this point students experience the pressure of preparing for and sitting multiple exams in a short space of time.
PHSE
The personal development and wellbeing of students is Outstanding. PHSE and R.E is delivered through ‘Employer Engagement weeks’ and our PSHE programme. There are numerous opportunities, from partaking in the democratic process, workshops, visits and keynote speakers and a range of activities around well-being, keeping safe, sex and relationships. These are reinforced by a weekly PSHE lesson at KS4. Our weekly assembly programme provides a series of rich, diverse and well-coordinated assemblies.
SRE
We recognise that Sex and Relationship Education (SRE) is lifelong learning about physical, moral and emotional development. It is about the importance of stable and loving relationships including marriage for family life, as well as other relationships such as civil partnerships. SRE is about respect, love and care. SRE provides pupils with factual knowledge and an understanding of the influences on young people, encouraging them to be aware of the options open to them and to take charge of decisions about their own behaviour. It encourages the development of personal and interpersonal skills, the awareness and respect of self and others and encourages reflection and responsibility. It is a driver for ensuring that pupils behave safely in their attitudes and actions regarding sex and relationships.
Further information can be found in our SRE policy.
