Are you joining us in September?

New students at NLA are invited along to join in a number of taster sessions, so that - by the time you join us at the start of the new academic year - the Academy should feel very familiar. We place a particular focus on helping new students to make friends and gain the necessary social skills and self-confidence to settle in quickly, so that you can make progress swiftly.

We work really closely with partner primary schools across the area. If you're joining us in September, we'll not only get to know you, but work with your Year 6 teachers to plan ahead and support you.

We encourage all of our new students and their families to come and have a look, and organise a huge variety of activities to give you a taste of NLA life. We run workshops, competitions, holiday clubs and sporting events, to help take some of the fear out of going to 'big school'.

There's plenty more information for you to download and read in your own time. Click on our students' and parents' transition booklets below.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pupils are in Year 7?
In each year group we have the capacity for 240 pupils. However, we are oversubscribed each year, so have usually 245 in Year 7.

Who is in charge of Year 7?
Mr Pomford is the Head of Year. There will also be 10 form tutors who will be the first port of call for parents or pupils, as they will see pupils every morning in form time. Form time is from 8.45am til 9.00am each day.

Which form group will my son be in? Will he be with his friends?
Students will find out who their form tutor is on the first day in secondary school. They will be in a form with someone they know from primary school. If they are the only one from their primary school, they will be put in a form with other boys also coming on their own. We normally have approximately 20 students in the same situation.

Which set will they be in? Will they be with friends for lessons?
Normally sets are based on KS2 SATs results. However, as students have been unable to sit SATs exams in primary schools this year, the sets will initially be mixed ability. They will sit school tests (a bit like SATs tests) around October/November and then be put in sets after Christmas.

We make no guarantees that they will be with a friend in their sets. This is a fresh start, in a journey that could last up to seven years. It is important that students integrate and get to know as many different people in their year group. The year group is made up of boys from nearly 50 feeder primary schools.

How big are the classes?
Historically, class sizes range from 12 to 31 students due to them being based on ability. With the sets being mixed initially, the average class size will be 24 students.

What are the timings of the day?
Students need to be on the premises by 8.35am and in their form room for 8.45am when form period starts. However, breakfast club starts for 8am where they can get a free (tea, coffee, toast and cereal) breakfast in the canteen. Lessons are one hour long and start on the hour before break e.g. period 1 is at 9am. Break time is at 11.00am for 15 minutes. Period 3 is until 12.15pm, then there is period 4 with a split lunch. P5 starts at 1.45 and finishes at 2.45pm. There are a range of clubs running after school which can run until 4pm.

How long is break and lunchtime?
Year 7 are on their own yard for break time and it lasts for 15 minutes. During this time they can go to the toilet and eat or purchase a snack e.g. hot dog or sausage roll and a bottle of water. They also have lunchtime on their own and it lasts for 30 minutes. This is just enough time to eat lunch and have a short break on the main yard. Year 7 have what we call a 'split' lunchtime during period 4. They are taught for 30 minutes, then go to lunch, then return to the same lesson for the final 30 minutes.

What extra-curricular activities are available?
There are a range of enrichment activities on before and after school. They range from sports, art, music, drama to STEM, history and DT. There are also enrichment opportunities within the school day such as School Council, various associations e.g. medical. A timetable will be put together a few weeks after pupils start.

What uniform do I need to buy?
Please go to the Parent Handbook (bottom of the page) for information regarding the school uniform. We have a school coat which can be purchased from the school office for £36. It comes in red and black, light blue and black or all black. School shoes should resemble a traditional shoe; refer to Parent Handbook for further information. You can purchase uniform from Lisa's or West Derby Uniform shop (all information in in the handbook).

What will happen on the first day and what will pupils need?
On the first day pupils come in through the school hall and are greeted by the Year 7 Team. In the school hall they will have a welcome assembly. Then they will be told which form group they are in and spend the morning with their form. They will need to bring a school bag with pencil case, a drink (not fizzy or energy drinks), a school coat and either a packed lunch or money for a school dinner (unless they receive free school meals). They will also need a PE kit on the first day as they may have PE. During the morning we will take finger prints (for the purposes of the biometric system the school runs for door access and lunch money accounts) so they can get a school lunch if they choose to.

Can they bring a mobile phone into school?
Mobile phones are banned in school. They can bring a phone to school, but it must be switched off and in their blazer or bag. If they are seen with a phone out in lesson or during social time it will be confiscated and taken to the main office to be collected at the end of the school day. This is to safeguard and protect everyone in school.

LATEST: Archbishop Beck - Transition Support

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We are delighted to hear that your child will be joining us at Archbishop Beck in September to start their exciting journey through secondary education.

It Is fair to say that this year's Transition journey is going to be different to any other, with Covid 19, social distancing and school closures. The world seems so different now and nothing is 'normal', whilst it is still uncertain when schools will fully re-open and what, if any, Transition events can go ahead, what is certain is that we still want to offer the best, most meaningful Transition that we can in these circumstances. As a result, we will be adapting and changing our 'normal' transition programme to take into consideration the needs of all the children, our school and the restrictions needed as a result of Covid 19.

Overall, we are writing to welcome you into our community and explain some of the ways we will be managing the upcoming transition process from year 6 into year 7. We don't have all the answers just yet, but we are working hard to ensure Transition2020 is as well planned as possible.

Transition from primary into secondary education is an important milestone in the lives of young people and their families. At Archbishop Beck we strive to provide our new students and their families with a smooth and extensive transition programme so when the first day comes, everyone involved is feeling excited and motivated rather than apprehensive about their new surroundings - by working together College we can ensure this is a positive experience for our young people.

In normal circumstances our mentors - Neil and Liz, our Senco team and Mrs Brown (Year 7 Progress Manager) would already have started visiting all our new, enthusiastic and curious students within their primary schools. Whilst it is still uncertain when schools will fully re-open and if/when events like this can still occur, we want you to feel confident in the fact it is our aim to still deliver the best support and guidance for you and your child. With this in mind, we are currently working on the following for Transition2020.

You have already received an admissions pack containing our home-school agreement and other official documents. If you have not returned this to College, we ask you do so asap. After receiving this welcome letter, you will shortly be sent a welcome pack, detailing all the important information about our College (college times, uniform policy, equipment list etc) this will help you get prepared.

Your child's primary school has already been contacted to gain an insight into your child's individual personality, academic strengths and areas for support, in order to design a bespoke transition process, including the design of form classes. If there is any specific information that you feel we need to be aware of (Primaries have sent most information across to us) then please email the transition team at transition2020@beck.uk.com

All Year 6 students will be offered support via our website, Instagram: beck.archbishop or our twitter account @BeckArchbishop this will include: weekly tasks to complete to prepare them for secondary school, core subject projects to complete and a range of resources that will help them prepare for life in year 7. There is also an introduction to our Year 7 pastoral team so they can familiarise themselves with our wider team.

Also, on our website, there will also be a parent's section to help you to guide your child through their transition period. The most important thing you can do is to talk to your child about the transition process - How are they feeling about moving to Archbishop Beck? What would they like to know? What concerns do they have? Use some of the resources on our website to try and answer their questions.
If you have any questions, please email: transition2020@beck.uk.com where we will collate your emails and create a 'frequently asked questions' document to share on our website.

We completely understand that the situation surrounding Covid-19 may have caused some distress as the children may have said goodbye to their primary school in an unexpected and untimely way and the preparation, they have done for their SATs has been cut short. However, we would highly recommend that your child is still learning and working through the learning resources provided by their primary school, the projects and tasks on our website or the learning available on (BBC bitesize daily or Oak National Academy) this will help them to maintain their knowledge, understanding and skills ready for September.

We hope that this welcome letter finds you and your families well and our transition process can provide a settled and smooth journey into secondary education. Please look after yourselves and your families. We look forward to meeting you and your child in the very near future!

Yours sincerely

Mrs Johanne Brown - Year 7 Progress Manager

Mrs Fiona McConvery - Assistant Headteacher

College Vision

We are a Catholic college that is aspiring for academic excellence and we continually reinforce our vision with the phrase, 'Only the best will do.'

Our college mission statement, like the "Declaration of Independence", clearly sets out to state we are a community that always strives to be a place where equality, human rights and self-determination is at the core of our Christian Catholic Community. We believe in a curriculum that supports all students from Year 7 through to Year 14 and not Year 7 to 11.

Curriculum Journey

In October 2018, the review of the curriculum began to take place at Archbishop Beck Catholic College. This involved key stakeholders being invited to take part in a programme of development. It was an opportunity for staff, students and governors to have a voice in how we remodel the curriculum, which would have an impact on our learners and would be ambitious and inspiring. Quantitative research was undertaken through a 'Learning Characteristics Questionnaire' and a wide range of working parties formulated to establish the vision that each of our stakeholders had. From these deep, thought-provoking discussions, we were able to rationalise and ratify a curriculum that was fully inclusive to all learners. The thrust of that model has been the learning characteristics that would enable learners to thrive and make progress.

Curriculum Rationale

Our curriculum is built upon the foundations of learning characteristics that the College community believes to be fundamentally important to have a successful learning journey. The attributes identified; always give your best, motivated, resilient, confident, respectful and positive were deemed to be qualities that would influence ones learning experience here at the College.

With these core values in mind, we endeavoured to design a curriculum model that would embed these learning characteristics into a curriculum that had 'breadth and depth' and ultimately enable our learners to flourish in their learning. At the heart of the curriculum model is our Archbishop Beck student. We recognise that our curriculum must seek to develop a broad range of skills, tailored to each learner in order that they can be successful in the varied journeys they aspire to embark on. This is in line with the context of our college and supporting the educational provision that our learners are entitled to. Therefore, we will be offering a wide range of enrichment opportunities to support their interests and prepare them to become valued citizens in our community and the wider society.

Our KS3 curriculum in Years 7, 8 and 9 offers learners a wide range of subjects. During this time, learners will have opportunities not only to enhance learning skills and knowledge but undertake enquiry-based, problem solving and decision-making activities. KS3 learners will have the scope to develop the broad curriculum skills and capabilities in greater depth. To facilitate the richness of the curriculum design further, all learners will undertake cultural capital experiences in every subject area alongside bespoke careers experiences in each year group. These fundamental practices allow learners to demonstrate a diverse range of skills in a wide range of subjects.

Year 7 learners will undertake a transition programme in all subject curriculum areas when they begin Archbishop Beck Catholic College in the new academic year. A 'Nurture Group' has been formulated for some of our more vulnerable learners to support them both academically and emotionally as they venture into our secondary setting. Some of our learners are entitled to be a part of the 'Catch up Literacy' and/or 'Catch up Numeracy' programme if they did not achieve the expected standard in their KS2 assessments. This is co-ordinated carefully with Subject Leaders and our SEND Co-ordinator. KS3 will build on the fundamentals of KS2 and prepare learners for KS4.

The KS4 curriculum in Years 10 and 11 offers a breadth of subjects. Our Options process at the end of Year 9 is based on the interests, abilities and aptitude of learners. They are supported at an individual level to help them choose the subjects that are appropriate for them and their destinations post-16. We offer a range of GCSE and Vocational qualifications and adapt these every year to meet the needs of the learners.

All learners have the opportunity to complete the full English Baccalaureate suite of subjects. Consequently, the College will provide guided learner choice at KS4, whilst building on the strengths and interests of the individual and maintaining breadth and balance, which is built on the intent for their aspirations for the future and is ultimately equitable for the learner. All students will study GCSE's in: English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Religious Education, Trilogy Science, PE/Dance or general PE.

Our KS5 curriculum is fully inclusive, students can follow academic routes, vocational routes, or a combination of both to ensure progression into Higher Education, Russell Group, Higher Apprenticeships, Further Education or relevant employment. A full RE programme is incorporated into the students study programme, and supported with external visits and external delivery on the college site. Students follow an enrichment programme to support their vocational studies or Higher/Further Education application.

Students are also involved in a 'work inspiration' programme that includes guest speakers, employability interviews and a bespoke week's work placement in their preferred area of interest. There are elite sporting academies in basketball, dance, football and mixed martial arts, in which students can follow academic/vocational programmes, and outside of the curriculum receive focussed coaching and competitive fixtures.

Statement of Intent

The curriculum at Archbishop Beck permeates all that we do both in and outside the classroom. We offer numerous opportunities and activities beyond the academic curriculum which are aimed at ensuring physical, social and mental wellbeing for all. Learners have a right to a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum which enables them to be challenged and make progress. It recognises that all learners are unique and may require a diverse range of pedagogical and metacognitive experiences to support them in their learning journey. We implore teachers to use vocabulary for a range of purposes and contexts to enable learners to enhance and develop their vocabulary repertoire, which is further advocated through the 'Valiant Vocabulary' boards in each classroom. Oracy plays an important role in instilling confidence and self-esteem amongst our learners and they are regularly posed questions individually and collectively within groups to encourage and embark in dialogue that is meaningful. This allows our learners to express themselves freely, maturely and with conviction.

The curriculum and its delivery also reflect our Catholic ethos, vision and values. The curriculum disperses time proportionally to the weighting and demands of each subject area. The procedures and level of assessments are in line with our intent in providing a balanced curriculum. They enable us to inform learners, parents/carers of how much progress learners are making and what is required to help them improve.

Our SEND department also provide individualised programmes of support, for learners who require additional provision. Teaching Assistants are deployed across the College to further assist learners within the learning environment. Some learners are entitled to 1:1 support.

The governing body have been decisive throughout the processes that relate to Archbishop Beck Catholic College having a broad and balanced curriculum.They fully endorse the ethos of 'Only the best will do' throughout the College community.

Method of Implementation

The KS3 curriculum model is outlined below, each lesson is a duration of 50 minutes and learners have 6 lessons per day, 30 lessons over the course of the week.

All students at KS4 will study English Language and Literature, Mathematics, Science, PE/Dance and RE. All students at KS4 will be able to access the full suite of English Baccalaureate subjects. All students at KS4 will receive appropriate advice and guidance to ensure they are supported fully in making the most suitable options. The outcome of the KS4 curriculum is learners will be obtaining a wide range of GCSE's to Vocational Qualifications over the course of the two years, which have been built on the foundations delivered during the course of KS3.

"The school provides an outstanding curriculum which contributes significantly to students' motivation and enjoyment and has been important in raising the standards they reach" - Ofsted

We pride ourselves upon our commitment to recognising and addressing the educational needs of all our students. Ensuring access to a broad and balanced curriculum, whilst supporting them in academic progression and examination success. As well as academic achievement there is a focus on developing teamwork, independent learning and presentation skills to ensure students possess the skills to be lifelong learners. We aim to support students, who at times have difficulty accessing aspects of the curriculum. These difficulties may be physical, emotional, behavioural or academic. It is our duty to provide for these needs, treating each student as an individual.

At Alsop all want what is best for the students and realise that it is increasingly difficult for parents and students to choose the correct options. Our students benefit from high quality Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance, allowing informed decisions to be made. Our careers conventions, options evenings, parents evenings and review days are extremely popular and we aim to ensure that every student feels supported in their future choices.

The sole supplier for our uniform is Laser Schoolwear, on County Road.

The school tie colours for September 2019 are as follows:

All students will also be expected to wear a white shirt or blouse; blue will no longer be acceptable. All female students will be expected to wear navy blue socks. May we also remind you training shoes and sports shoes ARE NOT an acceptable form of footwear to be worn in school. We expect all footwear to be plain black, be able to be polished and to comply with the standards set of a school shoe.

We believe these rules form the basis of the school and help set the correct tone and ethos to a working establishment; ensuring your child has a solid education, focusing on established ground rules, with a willingness to comply, progress and succeed.

Notre Dame's approach to discipline is a positive one. We emphasise the expectation of good behaviour which takes into account the needs and feelings of others, the good of the community and the well-being of the individual. Pupils are expected to behave in a way which brings credit to themselves and to the school. This applies when they are travelling to and from school, as well as when they are on the school premises.
We hope all parents will work in partnership with us to encourage the pupils of today to become the responsible adults of tomorrow.

It is the duty of those with parental responsibility to ensure that their daughter/son attends school every day. They are asked to see that every effort is made to ensure punctual and regular attendance. Late arrival lessens the time available for teaching and lowers the academic standard for all students, not only that of latecomers. All absences must be explained by a written note. If parents know in advance of an intended absence, they are asked to notify the Form Tutor in writing. All latecomers must sign in at the Registration Office before proceeding to lessons.

The Headteacher, at all times, reserves the right to send a pupil home if she deems a pupil's appearance, including, hairstyle or hair colour inappropriate for school. The responsibility for making this decision and taking the appropriate action rests with the Headteacher.
In the interests of Health and Safety:

Jewellery and chewing-gum are not allowed on the school premises.

Long hair should be tied back throughout the school day.

Pupils may wear a watch and girls may wear small stud earrings (in their ears only). Confiscated items can be collected by pupils at the end of the week.

The school reserves the right to confiscate jewellery which is worn in breach of this school rule. Parents must understand that the school accepts no responsibility for loss of any item of jewellery brought onto the school premises.

For reasons of Health and Safety, the use of mobile phones is not permitted in the school during lessons. Mobile phones will be confiscated if found switched on during lessons.

The use of mobile phones is not permitted for reasons of child protection within lessons. Mobile phones will be confiscated if found switched on during lessons.

The school reserves the right to use the sanction of a 30-minute or one hour detention when this sanction is considered appropriate.
If the Headteacher believes that an individual pupil's behaviour is unacceptable to the school community or is such that the pupil is jeopardising their peers' education or safety, the Headteacher will use the sanction of exclusion.

Pupils involved in fighting will be excluded automatically for 3 days. Appropriate work will be provided for the excluded pupil. A senior member of staff will interview the pupil and parents before re-admission. The Headteacher follows the LA Guidelines in all cases of exclusion.

Homework is set every day for all pupils. Each pupil is expected to do the set homework. Parents/Carers and pupils can check the details of homeworks set on the 'Show My Homework' website or app.

All Year 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 pupils must remain on site during lunchtime. Pupils have the option to:
1. Buy a college meal on the premises.
2. Bring a packed lunch to be eaten in the dining area.

Every pupil must have an emergency telephone number where the person with parental responsibility can be contacted should such an emergency arise. The Head of Year or Form Tutor should be informed if a pupil should wear glasses, has a hearing defect or any infirmity requiring special attention. There are regular medical inspections.

Illness & Medication:
If you keep your daughter/son at home because she/he is unwell, please phone the school and send in a letter on their return. It would not normally be expected that your daughter/son returns to school before a complete recovery. However, if your daughter/son returns to school and still needs to take prescribed medication, the Form Tutor must be informed.

All medications must be taken to the pupil services desk with a completed and signed 'Medication Consent Form'. Any other forms of medicated drugs are not allowed on the school premises (including aspirin or paracetamol) and will be dealt with seriously. Only the printed instructions on the container will be followed and must be made available when handing in the medication. These precautions are for your daughter's/son's safety and we thank you for your co-operation. If the pupil has need to use medical treatment regularly, such as inhalers for asthma, the medicines will be left in the school medical room where the pupil will go for treatment.

Drug Misuse:
Drug misuse is a growing problem in today's society. All schools, including Notre Dame Catholic College, have an important role to play in enabling pupils to make responsible and healthy choices. Every school needs to do everything possible to protect their pupils from harm and promote a healthy and safe environment in which they can grow and learn. In order to achieve this at Notre Dame we have a comprehensive policy on drug misuse and an effective drug education programme within the curriculum. Our drug education programme ensures that the pupils know about the risks and consequences of taking drugs and helps them to gain the knowledge and skills to resist them.

We work within the Catholic moral framework to promote the value of life. We have very clear discipline rules on drug misuse, including special rules on medications.

The school has an appointed a Drug Support Teacher who may be contacted if you have any worries or concerns over this very sensitive subject. Copies of the school's policy and rules on drug misuse or of the drug education programme are available on request.

Parents are formally invited to meet with teachers at least once a year to discuss their daughter's/son's progress. If any parent wishes to visit the school, or even join one of the Sixth Form classes, the Headteacher would be delighted to hear from him or her. At whatever level, it is extremely important to form a working partnership with the teaching staff, to encourage and develop pupils' chances of success. At significant points in their daughter's/son's education parents/carers are invited to accompany their daughter/son to individual interviews with a senior member of the teaching staff who will act as a mentor in order to monitor progress and ensure that results achieved are the best possible.

As well as this special programme of study, all pupils participate in Days of Reflection, weekly Assemblies and are continuously involved in charitable work in keeping with the Catholic aims and ethos of the school.

We offer to all our pupils' opportunities to develop a personal spirituality which will, in the long term, enable them to discover meaning and significance in their lives.

Healthy and nutritional food is integral to all our recipes, meals and snacks at the North Liverpool Academy - and we're proud to be recipients of the Healthy Schools Award. We received this award because of our commitment to identifying and improving the health and wellbeing outcomes for our school community.

We encourage all students - and staff, too - to think diversely about the food that they eat, and regularly celebrate a range of international days to celebrate food from other nations, where our staff and students get a taste of other culture's culinary delights and traditions.

We're also aware that our school community has a range of dietary requirements, and we make sure to accommodate these wherever possible, so that all our students can enjoy a healthy, hearty meal with us.

Mixing up our menus each week, means that our students can enjoy a wide range of delicious, and freshly prepared meals each week. Our healthy meals menus rotate every third week - here's a selection of weekly sample menus.

Students eligible for free school meals need to complete a speedy online application - available on the Liverpool City Council website - which tells you instantly if you can get school meals for free, during the school day.

North Liverpool Academy is proud of the diverse culture that is evident around the school. We welcome students from all over the world to come and excel in our inclusive learning environment. Here at NLA we have a dedicated Leader of EAL, Mrs Bailey, whose primary role is to ensure a smooth transition for our EAL students. We are also privileged to have a dedicated EAL teacher, who runs our intensive intervention programme based on individual needs, to enable our students to access their curriculum pathway.

Sometimes, it can be difficult or stressful for a new EAL student starting at a new school. Every student will have an induction day to welcome them to the school, introduce them to staff and meet other students who speak the same language as them. To help students with their English language, we run an immersive programme where students are surrounded by English all the time and this exposure to language really helps their learning.

We also offer an area for our EAL students to come to during lunchtime. This allows students to interact with peers and adults, which will further develop their language skills through conversations but also give them an opportunity to ask questions about their school life and gain support for homework.

If you would like more information on how we can support you or your child in learning English, then please don't hesitate to contact the school on 0151 920 4044 or e-mail me at [email protected] .

Curriculum Statement

The curriculum we offer our students reflects the aims and aspirations we have for them - our Curriculum Intent - in that we aim to;

1. Give them the knowledge, understanding and skills to progress onto the next stage of their education, irrespective of their prior attainment, background or ethnicity.

2. Produce students with high aspirations, resilience and independence so that they can maximise the opportunities they are given to progress.

3. Provide a broad curriculum with flexible pathways through the key stages to allow students to maximise their attainment by developing the skills and talents they already hold.

4. Provide students with a range of enrichment opportunities to help them become responsible citizens who can make a positive contribution to society.

Form Time
Form Time is an integral part of every school day. In Years 7 to 10 students follow a weekly programme including Literacy, Numeracy, Oracy/Discussion, PSHE, basics checks and assemblies. Students of all abilities who require extra support in either English or Maths are placed temporarily in forms with an appropriate teacher to help them to catch up. Years 7 to 9 also include Reading Forms where the emphasis of the activities is to improve students' comprehension of their reading. In Year 11 students are placed in English, Maths or Science forms according to the subject they most require support in. These forms are rotated regularly.
Our Curriculum - Key Stage 3
a. All students follow the National Curriculum throughout Years 7 and 8 with the addition of lessons devoted to reading and Drama on rotation in English. (1,4)

c. Catch up funding is used to narrow gaps in prior attainment in English and Maths for those who require it. Nurture groups are provided in Years where the intake requires such support. All students of all abilities cover the full National Curriculum; no students are withdrawn from any subjects permanently.(1,3)b. The emphasis during this time is to give the in-depth, fundamental understanding and skills required to maximise their opportunities later in life.(1)

d. Students (other than HA students) are taught in mixed ability groups to ensure that all are expected to make progress. HA students are taught in dedicated groups to ensure that they are given the opportunity to maintain their prior progress (1,3)

e. Our foci for the past 3 years have been quality-first teaching, stretch and challenge and active questioning. For 2019-20 our foci are the same but with the addition of work on scaffolding for SEN students to help them progress. Our expectation is that this happens in all lessons, irrespective of starting point or ability.

f. Enrichment is delivered through PSHE in Form Time, extra PSHE sessions and the use of carefully selected providers with the aim of broadening the students' development and raising their aspirations. (2,3,4)

g. Schemes of learning and how they are delivered are reviewed regularly to ensure that work is challenging and sequenced so as to allow the development and retention of new knowledge.. (1,2)

h. There is a programme including SRE, IAG and Drugs and Alcohol education which is delivered through external providers.. (2,4)

i. All students undergo a Study Skills programme delivered by Elevate Education. This includes access to inline resources which are available to students and parents.

In summer 2019, the Governing Body asked the staff to review current KS3 curriculum provision to ensure that it meets our intent of breadth and depth for all. This review will result in changes in the curriculum for September 2020.
Our Curriculum - Key Stage 4
a. A 3-year KS4 was introduced in September 2017. The aims of this switch were to encourage the students to become more focused learners at an earlier age, to broaden the range of options available to all students from 3 to 4, to give students more time to cover the increased content in the new GCSE subjects and to give them time to deepen their understanding of the subjects they are studying. (1,2,3)

b. All students study a core of GCSEs in English Language, English Literature, Maths and Double Science as these are the fundamental subjects required for students to progress. (1,2)

c. Students make their option choices at the end of Year 8 to begin study in Year 9. All students have access to the full range of academic and vocational subjects we offer. (1,3).

d. All subjects are open to all students, including Separate Science and French. This means that it is possible for all students to follow the full range of EBacc subjects. (1,3)

e. Subjects offered at KS4 include;

There are 4 option columns; popular subjects are offered more than once where staffing permits.

f. Guided choice, parental liaison and IAG is used to ensure that students make choices appropriate for them. (1,3,4)

g. Student progress and attainment is monitored and reviewed regularly to ensure that they are making appropriate progress. Support is available during Form Time for students who require it in English, Maths and Science. (1,3)

h. There is an in-school programme including SRE, IAG and Drugs and Alcohol education. (2,4)

i. All students undergo a Study Skills programme delivered by Elevate Education. This includes access to inline resources which are available to students and parents.

j. All students have access to a range of opportunities (targeted and blanket) designed to raise their aspirations and give them an active experience of the future phases of their education.
Our Curriculum - Key Stage 5
a. Students are offered a broad range of academic and vocational subjects based at Holly Lodge and in our partner school, West Derby Boys Academy.

Our curriculum

The aims of Bellerive FCJ Catholic College are:

help everyone within a caring community to grow in faith

respect and value other cultures and faiths

make the most of every given ability

enjoy and achieve personal growth and academic excellence

prepare pupils for their adult life, playing a full part in a modern global society

Our curriculum operates in the context of our FCJ charism and values which place companionship, dignity, excellence, gentleness, justice and hope at the core.

Our curriculum operates within a framework of:

Integrity: we will deliver more than simply examination outcomes. We educate the whole person ,in communion with our catholic faith, to enable them to play their full role in the modern world

Proportion: our curriculum will strive to ensure the most appropriate and most ambitious pathway for every student

Clarity: Students will understand why they are studying what they study and will understand how their current study programmes will progress during each year they are with us

As a catholic school, Religious Education and formation forms an integral part of our curriculum. Faith formation goes beyond the RE syllabus into the other taught and untaught aspects of the life of the school. Particular emphasis is given to collective worship and liturgical experiences at key times in the church calendar.

We are conscious of our wider responsibilities to civic society in terms of teaching British values and ensuring our students are given clear messages about the dangers of radicalisation and staying safe. Our curriculum will also ensure that our young people are aware of the dangers in modern society and how to keep themselves safe in their daily lives and on line. Our curriculum will provide opportunities for young people to understand these issues in a safe and age appropriate manner.

# data[].attributes.subject
Transition - Importance of a School Planner

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What are Pupil Planners?

At Fazakerley we issue all pupils with a planner at the beginning of the academic year. The planner is designed to help our pupils have high aspirations and personal responsibility for their learning. The planner holds key information, such as timetable, homework, progress records, the code of conduct and our core values.

Why are they important?

It is important that pupils are responsible for their own learning. Schools can be busy places at times; having a point of reference to help with organisation is key to our pupils fulfilling their potential.

Parent Responsibility

Every week the pupil planners should be signed by a parent/guardian of the pupil. This will be checked with the pupils' Progress Lead in school. This is a great way for parents to: -

View attendance (97% minimum expected) and punctuality

Check progress in lessons

Liaise with Staff with notes to Progress Leads or Teachers

See examination information

Please ask your child to show you their planner regularly. If your child loses a planner, the cost for a new one is £2 payable via ParentPay.

What is inside a planner?

Timetable

Your son / daughter can always know what lesson they have and where is is with their timetable. They can also plan their extra currcicular activities.

Attendance and Punctuality Tracker
We have high aspiarations for punctulity and attendance at Fazakerley High School.

Parents and pupils can check the attendance and punctuality with the weekly tracker.

Progress Check
Pupil learning and pupil progress is tracked in each subject on a half termly basis. This means pupils can reflect on their knowledge, skills and understanding and make necessary adjustments to improve their learning. As a parent, this can give a very quick overview to your childs overall education.

The pupils track if they are on target and more imporatantly, the areas they are succeeding and the areas they can improve on in each subject.

This helps to give personalised targets to each pupil, with the aim of improving their learning.

Homework Record
Our homework section of the planners allows pupils to complete homework regularly and on time. In addition, parents can see if homework is being completed regularly. If there are areas that a parent believes their pupil needs to improve upon, then a note can be given in the planner requesting the specifics of that homework. The pupils accumulative attandance is also written here as a further reminder for parents and guardians.

Values Programme
Our values programme is made of ten core strands that underpin our curriculum. These strands help our pupils to have high aspirations and personal responsibility. In addition to gaining knowledge, skills and understanding, we expect our pupils to leave school as tolerant citizens who will add value to our community.

Each half term pupils can reflect on the values programme and set themselves individual targets in the various sections.

At the beginning of the term, we celebrate the pupils' success by awarding the pupils who have achieved gold, silver or bronze awards with an achievement assembly.

In general, at Key Stage 3 pupils will be issued with one homework task per week for each subject. This may take the form of individual weekly tasks or a booklet with a variety of tasks set over a number of weeks.

At Key Stage 4 homework may involve weekly set tasks but it may also comprise of work which contributes towards coursework. Pupils will also be required to attend after school classes in year 10 and 11 to support exam preparation and completion of coursework.

Where tasks are set that involve the need for the use of computers or the internet pupils can use school facilities provided through homework clubs either after school or at lunchtime.

Homework deadlines should be recorded in pupils' planners by the pupil. Teachers can communicate to parents that homework has / has not been completed via comments written in the pupil planner where necessary.

Please see the FHS Homework Policy for more detail.

Communication (English and Foreign Languages)

Inclusion

Inclusion is about raising the self-esteem and attainment of all pupils, regardless of: their background, race, class, gender, or disability. Fundamentally, it is about removing the barriers to learning.

Social Exclusion occurs when individuals come from a combination of linked problems: unemployment, low income, poor skills, poor housing, high crime environments, bad health and family breakdown. This means that they are cut off from the things that most of us take for granted: qualifications, a job, a home and a safe environment. Every pupil has the right to develop their potential. Therefore, Inclusion is about opportunities and the framework to access those opportunities.

Fazakerley High School embraces the challenges of creating supportive pathways to enable all our pupils to achieve positive outcomes, both in the learning and social contexts. As a school, provision is regularly reviewed and adaptations made to adjust to particular needs. This forward approach contributes to the greater good of all pupils' learning and entitlement: effective practice and levels of communication are deployed to best serve the community of the school and its pupils.

Every child may experience a Special Educational Need at some point in their life: extra support with part of the curriculum, building confidence and self-esteem, a network of support in times of separation, loss. Special Educational Needs is multi-faceted. Our primary goal, as a school, is to equip our pupils with the skills, emotional and academic, to take them confidently into their adult lives.

We hope that you find the following curriculum content of some use. Each department has included information that will help you become better informed about the curriculum provision at each stage of learning. The information is split into three sections:
1. Intent - what they aim to cover
2. Implementation - the way in which it will be covered
3. Impact - an evaluation of what they will achieve in relation to expectations
Together, it will create a broad outline of the knowledge, skills and understanding that is likely to be gained throughout the student's learning journey.
