Broughton Hall High SchoolYEAR 7 INTO THE FUTUREFrom September 2006, Broughton Hall High School embarked on anew curriculum project for Year 7Why a New Curriculum for Year 7?Nationally, Year 7 is recognised as a ‘dip’ year as pupils readjust to the unfamiliar environmentand academic demands of secondary school.The rationale for our new curriculum project is to ease the transition between primary and secondary,allowing pupils to see greater purpose and relevance in the learning that they do.Secondary school can be a shock. Imagine the twelve or so subjects as novels. Now try to envisagereading all those novels at the same time. Difficult isn’t it? The plots, the characters, theplaces and themes would become a confusing tangle. Currently, this is what the National Curriculumdemands of our children!How does the Curriculum work?Our aim is to provide Year 7 pupils with one novel per module, read in its entirety with pace andfun! Pupils will work on six project-based modules over the academic year. The modules willtake in English, History, Geography, RE, ICT and Design Technology. These traditional subjectareas will be delivered in a coherent and ‘joined-up’ way, with literacy its basis. Twelve lessonsper week will be devoted to this inter-disciplinary approach and will be delivered by agroup of teachers who will be well placed to assess, monitor and get the best from each pupil.The modules will be framed by five competences for life –1. Learning2. Citizenship3. Relating to People4. Managing Situations5. Managing InformationThese competences are designed as tools for life in the Twenty-First Century, where the contentof the curriculum may not necessarily reflect the needs of our fast-changing world. The skills willequip children for the remainder of their school life and the world of work.What benefits will this bring?Year 7 should be a year of investment for the pupils.The current ‘dip’ in attainment and motivation cancolour the whole of a pupil’s school experience. If thiscan be addressed through a creative, engaging andfun curriculum that demands no less from the pupils,they will progress into Year 8 as confident, competentlearners with their learning needs better addressed.A Technology College Page 16
