French Becoming an active communicator in the world's global village Go Go Our Languages Curriculum intends to: Broaden pupils' horizons by developing a passion for languages and cultures and recognise the additional career opportunities open to people who speak an additional language. Ensure that every pupil is encouraged and supported to study a language for GCSE. Encourage a growth mind-set in pupils to learning a new language and develop the confidence to communicate. Overview of the Course: The learning of a language encourages respect for other people; it fosters an understanding of the interrelation of language and human nature. Studying any foreign language will broaden minds and give pupils a better insight into the world around us. It will encourage empathy as an individual. It demonstrates openness to society and an ability to communicate with others on all levels. The learning of a language supports an appreciation of cultural diversity. Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures. A high-quality languages' education will foster pupils' curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. This enables pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. It also provides opportunities for the pupils to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking and read great literature in the original language, equipping pupils to study and work in other countries Pupils will continue to study the language they have learnt at The Westgate School since Year 7. Some pupils choose to continue with a second language. German will also be offered as a GCSE starting in Year 9 (dependant on pupil numbers). Several trips run throughout the year to complement the learning of languages and broaden pupils' cultural experiences. EYFS | KS1 Content KS2 Content Year 7 & 8 Content Year 9 Content Year 10 & 11 Content French is not taught within our school day as we focus on Spanish. French is not taught within our school day as we focus on Spanish. Overview of the Course: Key stage 3 is organised into engaging termly topics through which the key skills are taught. Pupils in every class will be encouraged to verbally express themselves through a range of structured talk opportunities, as well as developing close and active listening skills. Both the reading and writing skills are explicitly taught so that the pupils can develop their confidence throughout the two years. Course Content: Year 7 Year 7 focuses on developing the skills needed to become an active language learner; pupils will choose to study French or Spanish. In the Autumn term, the unit ‘This is Me’ teaches the pupils the skills to become confident at learning a language by encouraging pupils to speak almost immediately. Using the world of comic books encourages the pupils to give opinions and talk about themselves in the Spring term; Picasso and Dali stimulate descriptive language in the Summer term. Year 8 Year 8 builds and develops the skills from Year 7. Most pupils will continue to study the language they chose in Year 7. Confident linguists may also choose to study French/Spanish in Year 8 as a second language; we will offer these depending on sufficient interest (German is on offer to start at GCSE in Year 9 dependent on uptake). Places and buildings are used to introduce the pupils to the future tense, through a topic on future towns and the past tense is introduced in the Spring term, when the pupils focus on castles and jousting! The Summer term helps build on the pupils’ cultural capital, as well as their language skills, with a focus on celebrations: festivals and traditions. Many of the topics - and especially the trips organised to complement the curriculum - are designed to broaden pupils’ cultural experiences. Course Skills: Listening and Speaking: Pupils first interact with their target language by developing acti ve listening skills and the confidence of speaking a new language and communicating with each other. Reading: Pupils’ skills are built up by activities involving word recognition and very quickly they develop the skills needed to decode meaning in more challenging texts. Writing: Using sentence starters, vocabulary booklets and active learning strategies, pupils begin to construct meaning and manipulate language to express themselves and communicate in writing. Assessment: Throughout KS3, the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing are assessed. The pupils are fully prepared for these in lessons before their summative assessment. The topics covered will be: Me, myself and friends. Home, town, neighbourhood and region. Free time activities Food and eating out. Healthy eating. Customs and festivals.

Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent Learning at The Westgate School Curriculum Intent The Westgate School’s curriculum reflects two principles: firstly, acquisition – where pupils are taught to acquire the knowledge, understanding and skills in each subject domain in order to apply this learning to new situations; and secondly, participation – that pupils need to develop the skills to engage positively in different situations. In doing so, pupils further their learning and sense of belonging. In some subjects, such as Science, the emphasis lies more heavily on the acquisition of knowledge whereas in a subject such as Drama, the skills of participation predominate. In every lesson we expect adults to consider how best to facilitate pupils’ active participation in their learning – including “thinking hard” – and, to use the school’s core approach to teaching and learning so that pupils experience a coherent learning journey. In every subject, leaders are designing and evolving their curricula based on the golden threads of learning from Year R to Year 11 in their particular domain. Planning is based on clear objectives, using misconceptions as opportunities for rich learning, and facilitating greater depth in pupils’ knowledge rather than greater curriculum coverage. The specified curriculum is based on the National Curriculum and KS4 syllabi however, The Westgate School believes strongly in ensuring that the ‘hidden curriculum’ – how pupils learn about themselves and society in the way that we organise ourselves as a school – has a positive impact on the individual child. We strongly believe that access to cultural capital is an entitlement of every pupil, and we are regularly reviewing our curriculum to increase opportunities to access learning about different cultures and diversity. We also have a specified ‘Well-being Curriculum’, which sets out the universal provision for all pupils, and we are developing our practice to facilitate even greater inclusion in extra-curricular provision in school. Moreover, as part of our ongoing learning, we involve pupils proactively in curriculum development through our received curriculum reviews and our pupil leadership groups. At The Westgate School our curriculum is not intended to lead learners to fulfil their potential: our intention is to unlock the individual’s potential and to equip them with the knowledge and skills to be able to learn in different situations throughout their lives. Our teaching is inclusive using a whole class approach. Teachers use fluid, peel away groups: “Master Classes” for support and extension as needed. A Community of Learning... Being a high achieving, successful learning community only happens as a result of genuine collaboration. Every young person is unique and so we seek to provide a range of different learning opportunities in which every individual can excel. The Early Years Foundation Stage is framed around the characteristics of effective learning: Playing | Exploring active learning | Creating | Thinking critically These provide a foundation for learning upon which our curriculum in the Lower and Upper Schools are built. Our central purpose is for children to develop into young people who are happy and effective learners. We achieve this by being a community of learning where adults and pupils alike are committed to this central aim and work in strong partnership with parents to inspire success for all. Adults working with children and young people in our school community use a process of observation, assessment and planning to identify the learning and developmental needs of each child. Alongside knowledge of children’s interests, we plan opportunities for learning that are stimulating and engaging, leading to strong progress right from the Early Years Foundation Stage through to Year 11. In addition to the specified curriculum, pupils at The Westgate School will have the opportunity to experience a wide range of activities that enhance and enrich the curriculum. The all-through setting provides a unique opportunity for young people to learn from their peers and through the teaching of younger pupils. This powerful model for learning is one that permeates our culture and further enriches the community of learning. ...Achieving Excellence. Based on the principles of a growth mindset, the practice of teaching and learning at The Westgate School encourages children and young people to be led by their curiosity and to be prepared to use mistakes as the best opportunities for learning. This begins in the Early Years Foundation Stage where pupils are encouraged to make decisions about how to do things, to explain their thinking and to be resilient in their efforts. This theme continues through our practice in the Lower and Upper Schools where teaching colleagues will encourage pupils to verbalise their decision making process, explaining how they reached a particular conclusion or why they chose a specific method for doing something in order that they gain even better control over their learning and can apply skills to new situations. A golden thread throughout learning in all subjects and stages at The Westgate School is the development of Literacy and Mathematical skills which are a foundation for learning in all disciplines and lead to strong outcomes at examination level and for post-16 learning. At The Westgate School, we believe that through our exemplary partnerships with parents and young people, we can inspire a love of learning - something that is intrinsically linked to the development of individual self-esteem and motivation. In our school, there is no separation between our commitment to academic success and the well-being of the children and young people in our community. Compliance with regulatory acts Our curriculum complies within the duties of the the statutory Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Code of Practice (2015) and the following legislation: Part 3 of the Children and Families Act 2014, which sets out schools’ responsibilities for pupils with SEN and disabilities and The Equality Act 2010, with particular reference to Part 6 “Education” We strive for High Quality Inclusive Teaching within our classes and for all pupils to access a broad and balanced curriculum. When deciding whether special educational provision is required, we will start with the desired outcomes, including a variety of assessments of the pupil’s progress and attainment, the views and wishes of the pupil and their parents, and information from other agencies.

Pupils will be taught to: Use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination. Play competitive games, modified where appropriate [for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders and tennis], and apply basic principles suitable for attacking and defending. Develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance through athletics and gymnastics. Perform dances using a range of movement patterns. Take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a team. Compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best. Swimming and water safety We provide swimming instruction in key stage 2.

Course content: Currently the sports covered are: Athletics Basketball Badminton Dance Football Gymnastics Health Related Exercise Orienteering Rugby Netball Table tennis Tennis Striking/fielding Course skills In both Year 7 & 8, pupils will work across a carousel of sports, including a variety of team sports, individual sports, racket sports, gymnastics, dance, and problem-solving activities. Pupils will develop individual skills, team tactics and performances across these activities. They will learn how to exercise safely and understand the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle. Extra-curricular learning: Pupils are encouraged to attend one of the many extracurricular sports clubs as part of developing their skills. There are a wide range of sports covered to allow pupils to select the one that suits them. This page is being updated Overview of the Course: Physical Education is a mixture of practical (40%) and theory work (60%). Pupils will learn how the body works, the socio-cultural influences on sport, and further develop their physical competence in a range of competitive sports. There is a need for individuals to play and understand three sports at a reasonable level. This includes one solo sport and one team sport. Pupils should really be at a competitive level in sports, either inside and outside of school, if they choose GCSE PE. To be able to achieve a high grade at GCSE PE pupils should: Be competent in more than one sport. Regularly participate in competitive sport clubs outside of school. Regularly attend extra-curricular sports clubs within school. Always have brought PE kit to lessons. The three areas of the curriculum are as follows: Understand how the body works and how it impacts on health, fitness and performance in physical activity and sport. Understand socio-cultural influences on sport and physical well-being. Develop practical performance in physical activity and sport. Course content: Theory Content: (60%) Throughout the three years, pupils will cover the following topics: Applied anatomy and physiology Movement analysis Physical training Use of data Sports Psychology Socio-Cultural factors Health, Fitness and well-being Assessment is through two 1 ¼ hr exams, sat in Year 11. Paper 1: Applied anatomy and physiology. Paper 2: Socio-Cultural influences and well-being in physical activity and sport. Practical Content: (40%) The practical requirement of GCSE PE is based upon competence in competitive sports. It will focus on physical training, developing knowledge and understanding the principles of training and different training methods in order to carry out, monitor and evaluate personal exercise programmes. Pupils will also carry out some development of practical sports, working on increasing their skills and techniques in progressive drills, and also their ability to put them into game or performance situations on activities from the list of team and individual sports on the syllabus. Assessment: Assessment in the practical element is ongoing. Pupils are assessed at their competence in a number of competitive sports (which can be sports that are done out of school – speak to the PE department about the list of current sports on the syllabus). Their final grade takes their highest 3 grades; 1 must be a team sport, 1 must be an individual sport, and the final one can be team or individual, and their analysis of performance in one of those sports. For each activity covered, pupils will be marked out of 25 on practical competence (as a guide, a district level player in a sport would be attaining 25). Pupils will be expected to participate in every practical lesson, and improve individual skills and tactics for that sport. The sports covered within curriculum time will reflect their needs and strengths of the class. Home Learning: Weekly Home Learning will be set in a range of formats: research, finishing off work done in lessons, practising the skills learned in lessons. Pupils are also expected to participate in extra-curricular sports activities to develop their practical skills.
