Unit 1 Assignment E1 & E2 Statutory setting: St John’s Catholic School and Sixth Form Centre was my secondary school. My secondary school had around two hundred people in each year – Years Seven – Eleven. It had a Sixth Form Centre joined on to the building. We had to pay for our own equipment such as pens and pencils. However we were provided with texts books and exercise books to write in for each lesson. We had to purchase our own uniform. Jumpers, ties and blazers were available to purchase from the reception in the school, for reasonable prices they stated. The uniform originally consisted of a shirt, grey jumper and grey trousers. However in 2009 this was changed to maroon blazer, shirt and black trousers or black skirt (which could be purchased from the reception in the school). Activities after school were provided. These included ‘book busters’ which was open to students which particularly enjoyed reading. A lot of sports were available to participate in after school such as rugby, football, athletics, netball and basketball. A swimming club was also available as the school had a swimming pool on site. Revision classes were available near to when students would be sitting their GCSE examinations. Financial support was available to students who had parents with low incomes – they were provided with free school meals. Additional support was available via learning mentors for those pupils who were referred to them. Occasionally in some classes there were classroom assistants to help those students who needed extra help. Transport to school via buses were provided free of charge for those who lived a certain distance away from the school. The curriculum includes Art, Design Technology, French, Geography, Maths, Music, Science and Spanish at Key Stage 3. At Key Stage 4 the curriculum consisted of the core subjects: Maths, R.E, English, P.E and Science. Plus
