Refreshingly, she states that "A good curriculum should lead to good results", without the need for drilling pupils for tests. Our curriculum at Claires Court ensures that the pupils are treated as individuals and given opportunities to develop and deepen their knowledge, skills and understanding in a range of subject areas. As well as the 'classroom' activities, a variety opportunities to apply different skill sets should be facilitated. For example, this week our group of Reading Ambassadors were revealed. Their job is to provide reading activities for the younger pupils at break times and lunchtimes in the Outdoor Classroom. Each day, these 8 girls will take a selection of books and read with others and question them on understanding. The Reading Ambassadors undertook a short training session with Miss Sadler this week, which went incredibly well.
