More Able
At Park Hall Academy, we are committed to providing a sufficiently challenging curriculum for all our pupils that will enable them to develop to their full potential. Our more able strategy consists of:
Challenge – ensuring students have access to a challenging curriculum and opportunities to stretch themselves in lessons
Enrichment – all students have opportunities outside of the classroom to explore subjects with greater depth, breadth and complexity.
Recruitment – supporting students with choosing appropriate courses (during Year 9 options and Year 12 enrolment) to maximise success and achieve the top grades
For all of our high prior attaining students (those who performed highest in KS2) and those who aim to reach the top grades in GCSE and A-level, the best piece of advice we can give is to regularly challenge yourself during lessons. Lessons across the academy offer ‘bronze, silver and gold’ tasks/questions. These questions and activities have been carefully designed to allow every student the opportunity to push themselves to achieve the very best they can.
Our aim is to give Park Hall students every opportunity to reach their full academic potential, a goal that we very much believe can be achieved.
