SMT Senior Phase Discussion Prompts Pupil Name

TASK: Choose 3 current S3 pupils, whom you know, and for them complete a set of Options Choices which you think they would and/or would suit them. Be speculative about the sorts of options which might be available or that ideally you would want pupils to be free to select from. An exemplar is provided. Complete three varied possibilities for discussion at the next SMT meeting to support more focused thinking about pupil needs and the consequent operational issues there might be.

Note Each lettered segment of time is equal to 6 periods which is sub-divided by number to four periods and two periods respectively. The four period slot would represent a “major” subject and the two period slot would be ”minor”. It may be desirable to amend these choices at the end of S4 and S5 based on progress. If a course choice is not directly stated as Ent. Acad. Then the course chosen will contain a discrete element which contributes to delivery of the Enterprise entitlement
