Form Time

Schedule

Assemblies

We use assemblies to reinforce shared values, expectations, and key messages across the school. Assemblies provide students with time for reflection, celebration, and guidance, helping them to understand what is expected of them and why this matters.

Through assemblies, students develop a stronger sense of belonging, responsibility, and purpose, supporting positive behaviour, aspiration, and personal growth.

Numeracy Ninja

We deliver Numeracy Ninja sessions through Microsoft Teams to strengthen pupils’ confidence, fluency and accuracy with key mathematical skills. Pupils complete short, focused activities covering areas such as mental arithmetic, times tables, fractions and number operations.

Form tutors monitor participation and progress, providing additional support or adaptations where needed. The sessions help pupils recall essential number facts quickly, address gaps in knowledge and develop the numeracy skills needed across the curriculum and in everyday life.

Reading

We deliver our reading programme through Microsoft Teams, with a member of staff reading aloud while pupils follow using their own copy of the extract. Form tutors monitor engagement and provide any additional support or adaptations needed so that everyone can participate fully.

Carefully selected extracts introduce pupils to a wide range of authors, genres and ideas. The programme helps pupils develop their vocabulary, comprehension and reading fluency while building confidence and enjoyment of reading.

 Votes For Schools

We use Votes for Schools to support students’ personal development and student voice. The programme gives students regular opportunities to discuss current issues in a structured, age appropriate way, helping them to develop critical thinking, oracy, and respect for different viewpoints.

As part of the programme, students take part in a weekly vote, allowing them to share their opinions and see how their views compare with others locally and nationally.

Student Login

 Uniform and equipment checks

Form tutors use form time to check uniform and equipment, ensuring students are prepared for the day ahead. These checks reinforce high expectations and support consistency across the school.

This routine helps students develop organisation, responsibility, and readiness to learn.

Core revision

For Year 10 and 111, form time includes focused core subject revision, led by a subject specialist and delivered online via Microsoft Teams, with form tutors supporting their classes.

Revision sessions rotate between English, Mathematics, and Science, providing regular reinforcement of key knowledge and exam skills to support students in their GCSE preparation.

Weekly quiz

Pupils take part in our weekly quiz during form time. The quiz tests their general knowledge across a range of topics while encouraging curiosity and an awareness of the wider world.

It provides an enjoyable end to the week, with pupils working together, sharing their knowledge and taking part in some friendly competition between forms.
