The Alice Smith School started 2021 on a high note! Our Secondary Campus won the Inclusion category at the International School Awards 2021 with the initiative, ‘KLASS Student-Support Programme: empowering students to lead on in class support’. The programme involves our Year 12 students putting forward subjects they would like to volunteer support in at Key Stage 3-4. The Personalised Learning Faculty will match these preferences to requests made by teachers for assistance in their classes for initially one period per week. Training is then provided for these volunteers. The aid provided by Year 12 students has moved beyond the targeting of SEN students and now covers all students within a given class or lesson, i.e. there is an equality of experience across students in lessons that allows for targeted SEN support in an environment where all students are accessing this. Congratulations to our Personalised Learning Faculty for the recognition of their great work! Click here to know more about the award. Our Primary Campus also received recognition in the Wellbeing category for ‘A practical approach to supporting good mental health - a Student Wellbeing Toolkit’.
Congratulations to our Geography Department
who has been awarded the prestigious Secondary Geography Quality Mark by the Geographical Association following a rigorous process of reflection and evidence gathering.
