It is amazing how time flies. It is just over a year since we launched Curriculum 2012. This is our new skills based approach to learning in Key Stage Three. The model offers pupils the opportunity to learn in two main formats:
Learning Blocks - skills and knowledge delivered in subject areas
Development Blocks - skills-based thematic projects drawing on the work completed in learning blocks
As the model has now been in operation for just over a year, it will now involve years seven and eight pupils.
The development block challenges (which have been designed by our staff) offer pupils incredibly exciting opportunities to extend their knowledge, skills and understanding. What is different this year is that, as pupils are working through their challenges, they will all have access to an ipad (whereas last year they had to share). We feel that the impact that this level of access to digital technology will have is bound to have a huge impact on the outcomes from this already very successful curriculum model.
If you would like to know more about the way in which we are developing learning and teaching at Bishop Gore please do not hesitate to contact us.
