SPECIALISM SUCCESS

Holocaust Memorial Day God who knows us, who never forgets us, we thank you that, when you ‘remember’ us, you gaze on us in a way that makes new worlds possible. Help us to remember the horrors others have faced and face. Help us to remember the people we’d rather forget. Help us to remember the dark corners of our own lives, for you transfigure everything, bringing light and life. Amen.

Specialism Success Last week we hosted 3 teachers from our partner schools in Xi'an, China. They were extremely impressed with how the pupils were actively involved and engaged in the lessons. They spoke about the interesting insights into our school system both from what they observed, and also from what they discovered by chatting to our Mandarin students, all of whom displayed great enthusiasm for the language and culture of China. They were very enthusiastic about the college farm and new football pitch and we all look forward to All Hallows’ link with their schools in Xi'an continuing with future exchanges. Specialism Focus Allowing students thinking time to answer questions allows the teacher to ask higher order questions. This means the emphasis can be on pace of earning rather than ace of activities.
