STUDY HALL
To help students keep on target we provide an additional supervised Study Hall most school days from 4:45 to 6pm. Students behind target may be required to attend Study Hall until caught up. It is also used as a facility by students voluntarily to get ahead of target or finish a subject early.
MONITORING STUDENT
PROGRESS
Progress Boards in each subject are displayed in the Course Room and are updated weekly by the subject tutors. Progress Boards are advantageous in two major ways -
• showing the minimum standard that all students are expected to achieve that year in each of their subjects,
• showing in any given week during the year where that student should be on each subject toward his end of year requirements - each student can see where he stands, whether ahead, on or behind target.
In addition to the posted Progress Boards, parents of Lower Seniors are provided with printed progress boards for their own child showing each subject and termly targets, allowing parents to take a much more active and informed role as they can follow progress and supervise homework, without sudden surprises at the end of a term.
HOLDING THE STANDARDS
"QUALIFICATIONS DIVISION"
Upon completion of a checksheet the student is tested on the materials studied. The testing is done by and in our Qualifications Division, which is independent of classroom teachers and course room supervisors. This ensures the student knows his subject, or detects any areas of uncertainty, which can then be addressed individually with the student. This division provides the additional and individual care, using the tools of Study Technology, to resolve any difficulties the student may have. The overall aim in the Qualifications Division is to ensure that each student fully understands and can apply what has been studied, that the standard of teaching and instruction is supporting the students, and that the school maintains a superior standard of education, results and care.
