Cornerstone & Momentum (PSHCE)

Our day consists of 5 periods of 60 minutes every day. We operate a two-week timetable consisting of a ‘Yellow’ and a ‘Blue’ week making a 50 period fortnight. Students attend a 25-minute form period at the beginning of each day and a 'Cornerstone' lesson every Monday morning (for 30 minutes). The teaching of this is by Personal Development Mentors, with students learning about key values and skills required to become a good citizen. All students attend at least one assembly each week that complements our curriculum and supports the delivery of social, moral, spiritual and cultural aspects of learning, including the promotion of British values & Religious Studies. Additionally, students in Year 10 receive an hour a fortnight of Personal Development lessons with their English teachers, to ensure deeper learning of Core Religious Studies and Relationships and Sex Education.
