Accelerated Reader (Year 7 and 8)
Accelerated Reader (AR) is a programme followed by all Year 7 and 8 students, which develops confidence in reading and improves comprehension skill whilst developing a life-long love of reading.

Bedrock (Year 7 and 8)
As a student progresses through school, they need to be adding at least 3,000 new words to their vocabulary per year (Beck, McKeown & Kucan, 2002; Nagy, 1980 & 1986) if they are to keep up with the increasingly challenging requirements of academic texts. If a student’s vocabulary is growing at a slower rate, they will find understanding school textbooks, academic resources and exam texts more and more difficult as they progress through school. From the topics that we teach to the algorithm-powered reporting, Bedrock Learning bridges the gap between technology and the human experience. Our learners are continually challenged and their next level is always just within reach, allowing them to see the immediate benefits of their work and strive for their next steps
Geography Dictionary (Year 7-11)
As part of a push on Support for Literacy based subjects, our geography department have created a Geography Dictionary which can be found here.
