YEAR 10 BOOKLET 2025 - 2026
AMITY’S SKILLS FOR SUCCESS
The Skills for Success, underpinning the curriculum across the school, are essential for preparing the youngest through to the oldest students to thrive in and beyond Amity. At the centre of the Skills for Success are Wellbeing and Self-care and Motivation and Engagement. Wellbeing and Self-care recognises holistic development including emotional and mental health, both of which are addressed through robust pastoral systems and the additional provision offered by inclusion and school counsellors Alongside this, Amity recognises that motivation and engagement are pivotal factors in meaningful and successful learning, underpinning participation, achievement, and joy, both inside and outside the classroom setting. Agency, the ability to take initiative and drive one's learning, empowers students to be active participants in their educational journey Creativity fosters innovation,
encouraging students to approach challenges with fresh perspectives, enhancing problemsolving abilities. Critical thinking cultivates analytical skills, enabling students to evaluate information, make informed decisions, and adapt to diverse situations. Collaboration emphasises the importance of working harmoniously with others. By instilling effective teamwork, students develop interpersonal skills crucial for success in both academic and social spheres. Students equipped, motivated and engaged with these skills can manage stress, build resilience, and maintain overall well-being. Through Enterprise, students apply agency, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration to real-world scenarios, preparing them for future professional challenges.
Social Responsibility and Global Citizenship serve ‘to wrap around’ these skills in action Social Responsibility emphasises the ethical use of these skills, encouraging students to consider the impact of their actions on a broader societal scale This fosters a sense of empathy and community engagement. Being internationally minded adds a global dimension to these skills, preparing students for an interconnected world As an international school with over 70 nationalities, exposure to diverse perspectives promotes cultural awareness, fostering open-mindedness and adaptability supporting each school’s curriculum.
