Ralph Sadleir Middle School
At Ralph Sadleir our students follow a rich and full curriculum which includes a comprehensive range of subjects: English, Mathematics, History, Geography, Science, French, Music, Physical Education, Religious Education, Art and Technology (which includes Food Technology, ICT, Craft, Art and Design). Students in Year 8 also study German.
During their first two years, students are taught in mixed ability groups, with the exception of Mathematics where they are placed in groups according to their ability. We expect the lower year groups to spend much of their time in school being taught by their form teacher, but increasingly as they progress through school, they will be taught by specialist teachers so that they will become familiar with the subject centered approach which they will meet in Year 9 and above.
At the start of Year 7 they are placed in groups according to their ability for French, English and Mathematics. This enables us to specifically target the educational needs of all students right across the ability range. Decisions in respect of group setting are taken against a background of general progress in basic subjects, assessments in numeracy, language and work-study skills, as well as teacher recommendation.
At present, a total of twenty-five hours per week are spent on lessons, with additional time for assemblies, breaks and registration.
Parents Forum
Our parents' forum has been set up to encourage positive discussion and improve communication between parents and Ralph Sadleir. The aims of the forum are to provide an opportunity to discuss school issues relating to parents and their children, and help review policies that affect parents/pupils.
Parents do not need attend all meetings and notes of meetings will be sent by email or "pupil" post to all parents expressing an interest in being involved. Meetings are held both during the afternoon and in the evening. Notes of all meetings are also posted on this site. All parents are welcome to our meetings.
