High Achieving Pupils (HAPs)
Mr Tooze is currently re-energising the importance of ‘Stretch and Challenge’ throughout the school and some exciting new programmes will take off this year. We believe challenging students at all levels is important, but also giving students the aspiration to achieve the best they possibly can is imperative. Some of the up-coming projects include:
The Twenty-Tooze
This will be an ongoing project designed to target the 22 most able students in Year 11; offering them guidance, support, challenge and independence in all areas of their lives.
The 22 will, in return, be responsible for disseminating their knowledge and findings to all students to help boost performance across the school. For example, a fortnightly newsletter reviewing revision techniques will be given to students in all year groups.
The HPQ
Students in Years 10 and 11 are encouraged to participate in completing a HPQ (Higher Project Qualification). Under Mr Tooze’s guidance, students can complete a study or investigation into any area they wish. This is an accredited externally examined piece of work by an exam board and will go towards their final Year 11 outcomes.
The League of ESJ
In September of each year, a specially selected group of Year 7, 8 and 9 students will enter into team competition to received rewards and plaudits around the school. The teams will be a mixture of every year group and points are earned through academic performance, community involvement and environmental awareness. The aim of the league is to create socially conscious citizens amongst each year group and drive performance in all aspects of the ‘players’ lives.
