Norbury Manor Girls' High School

Our curriculum ensures that students are taught a comprehensive range of skills while creativity and initiative are developed through investigation and problem solving.  We pride ourselves that a broad and balanced curriculum is offered to all students.

Home Learning

All students will be given home learning on a regular basis. It is considered an integral part of the students’ educational experience and a natural extension of their classroom studies.

Rewards and Sanctions

Good work and effort is rewarded  by our Commendation system.  Each year, achievement in all areas of college life is recognised and prizes are given at the annual Achievement Afternoons.

Sanctions, which include detentions and, in very rare cases, seclusion and exclusion, are used when a student’s behaviour falls short of what we expect.

At Key Stage 4, students can take a range of GCSE and vocational subjects. They are encouraged to maintain a broad and balanced curriculum to ensure that they have a sound base for further study.

There is also an opportunity for students to follow a community language and study it to GCSE level or A level.

All students follow a very detailed Personal, Social, Careers and Health Education course. This course is designed to help them make the most of opportunities in and out of college. We are very fortunate to have an excellent team of outside speakers who enrich this programme. Regular Deep Learning Days allow us to focus on developing personal learning, thinking and enterprise skills.
 

Our Sixth Form is well established and currently has an intake of 100 students. We offer a range of courses and new subjects are always being added. A new Sixth form building is currently under construction and is due for completion in Autumn 2010.
