Year 11
“Everything is important - success is in the detail”
Applications to Strood Academy Sixth Form can be submitted via the link - https://strood.applicaa.com/1. Login details have been shared with students and can be obtained from form tutors.
Please review the schedule here for interventions available for year 11s in Module 3. All intervention sessions will take place from 3:20pm to 4:20pm. These have already been allocated/registered for - form tutors have details of this. We look forward to seeing many students there.
From Tuesday 9th January our Year 11 pupils will be receiving tailored interventions within the core subjects during Period 1. To support this we are going to complete the morning line up as a year group rather than within their college. The reasons for this are the following:
We believe that Year 11 require a tailored approach at this stage
A daily count down with key messages will be shared
A daily reminder of after school interventions will be shared
There will be a number of interventions taking place throughout the academy day and this will support the information sharing of this
Year 11 pupils will also be able to access Period 1 intervention in a quicker fashion rather than completing line up outside.
The Year 11 line up will take place in the Sports Hall and be led by Mr Fatania and Mr Minshull. Year 11 form tutors will be on hand to support a smooth start to the day.
From next week we will also be removing Year 11 from our weekly college assemblies. They will continue to have a Year 11 assembly on Monday Period 1 to set themselves up for the week ahead but we aim to use the additional time to support them with additional learning.
