Curriculum Enrichment

Stalham High School_21 (44)

Your child may have a particular interest or hobby we’ve not mentioned here. Let us know if we can help develop that interest.


Curriculum Enrichment

We believe in taking every opportunity to deepen and enrich our students’ education, reaching far beyond the National Curriculum and developing a love of learning for life.

In lessons, our students are challenged to become independent, resilient and reflective learners, capable of open-ended enquiry, debate and discussion across a wide range of subjects. Departmental Programmes of Study are shared with students with an emphasis on the importance of independent study and ownership of learning. Research and enquiry techniques are taught actively in all subject areas with key numeracy and literacy skills embedded across the curriculum to enable our students to take full advantage of opportunities in life.

Extra-curricular study is valued in all subject areas. Cross-curricular development is also a key feature of our Able, Gifted and Talented provision.

Subject areas offer opportunities for wider challenge to all students through a range of activities:

Mathematics

Inter-school and inter-house competitions

History

History days and field trips, battlefields of Belgium, trip to Poland and Auschwitz (combined with English).

Geography

Field trips: North Norfolk Coastline and Scarborough

Modern Languages

Visits abroad

Science

Competitions and visits, rocket building and forensics

PE

Skiing trip to Austria


The Brilliant Club

This year, we are once again taking part in The Brilliant Club programme. The Brilliant Club work across the UK, supporting less advantaged students to access the most competitive universities, and to succeed when they get there.

The Brilliant Club trains PhD tutors to deliver The Scholars Programme in their partner schools across the UK.  They share their subject knowledge and passion for learning with small groups of students aged 8-18. It helps students to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to secure a place at a competitive university.

The programme is structured around seven tutorials, and pupils also attend two events at our partner universities to speak with current undergraduates and learn about university life. Fourteen pupils are in one placement, taught in two smaller groups of seven. They work towards completing a challenging final assignment which is marked and moderated using university grades.
