At Key Stage Four, students are starting to understand where their academic passions lie. At this level, students continue to undertake a range of activities to enhance their academic accomplishment and encourage a love of learning. Like Key Stage Three, these activities are themed into: Watch, Read, Listen, Write, Create and Do, and cover all academic subjects. Students choose a minimum of three to complete each half-term and will earn points and therefore rewards.  Students are responsibile for logging their activities which will be overseen in bi-weekly meetings with Miss Weeks. These meetings also offer a chance to discuss and reflect on their chosen academic activities. These sessions will also include opportunities to enhance students critical thinking skills. 

For Year 10, they are currently join Rugby School on their Schools of Empire Project. Students are researching different connections between the foundation of Gordon's School and the Empire. They are using the archives, analysing annual reports dating back to 1885. For more information of the Schools of Empire project, see here: https://www.schoolsofempireproject.org/

We were lucky enough to welcome Dr Smith and Dr Guard from Rugby School to see what our Year 10 Scholars had been researching and to provide helpful suggestions to progress their projects further. See their visit below.
