Facilities
Key Stage 3
By providing at Key Stage 3 a range of courses designed to meet the needs of every student at the school they hope to provide opportunities for all to do their best. A foundation literacy and numeracy course is provided for students needing more support in these areas. At Key Stage 4 students have the opportunity to specialise in certain subjects. They aim to provide learning opportunities by employing a wide range of teaching methods. Lessons should be rich and varied; students should know how well they are doing and what they need to do to improve.
Key Stage 4
Departments are always mindful of the the content and sequence of topics, but the best instruction for our students will be based on our support of their development as a learner, with a focus on metacognitive skills: getting and acting on feedback, working on strategies to aid memory (what we call ‘Making it stick’); thinking carefully around how they go about planning and producing their work.
Sixth Form
Matthew Arnold School’s Sixth Form is an integral part of a very successful and popular 11-18 years comprehensive school. They aim to provide all the students with the opportunity to realise their full academic potential while developing their interests and skills outside the classroom.
