Numeracy Booklet
As part of our strategy to respond to the national numeracy priority, we have adapted our support for pupils and parents on numeracy strategies. The first part of this is a numeracy booklet for parents and pupils. We hope this will be helpful in explaining some of the different methods used to develop numeracy skills in mathematics and across the curriculum. There are further resources also available on the school’s Moodle site. Please contact us should you require further guidance.
Together, we can raise standards

Literacy

 We have renewed our Terminology Book for pupils in years 7-13. In it are terms in both languages to support pupils’ literacy skills across the curriculum as well as information about helping with spelling and key spelling rules. At the back of the book there is room for pupils to record the words they need to learn. All pupils have been given a copy at the beginning of term. We hope it will be of use to them with both classwork and homework - click here
