At Lea Manor High School we are proud of our diverse and wide range of subject offers for our pupils. The curriculum is sequenced to provide our pupils with the opportunity to study a breadth of subjects whilst ensuring that we equip our pupils with the skills and knowledge required for academic success; teamed with the social and emotional development our learners will need for ‘life long learning'. We believe passionately in the sequencing of our curriculum plans; starting at Key Stage 4 and working backwards to Key Stage 3. This enables us to ensure that all our pupils are equipped with the skills and knowledge they will need to be lifelong learners. We believe that our curriculum is broad and diverse; taking into account always the pupils within our school and the wider community we serve. This ensures a range of subjects and opportunities are offered to develop passions both inside and outside of the classroom and prepares our pupils for life in the modern world.
Our Super Learner Clubs bring learning to life outside of the curriculum. Super Learner Clubs allow our pupils a unique opportunity to enrich their learning. Super Learner Clubs run after school from Tuesday to Friday. They offer a range of different sessions from The Great British Bake Off, Environment Club, and Robot Club as well as sporting opportunities such as Football, Rugby, and Basketball. Our Super Learner Clubs are updated and changed termly to ensure that the offer for wider activities is always relevant, and exciting, and continues to provide opportunities for our pupils to try a range of activities which enhance their learning, knowledge, understanding, and passion which they can then transfer into the curriculum and into their wider lives.
Our pupils benefit from a rich reading culture at Lea Manor High School. Our pupils who are well equipped for learning benefit from time built into the curriculum for reading. Our pupils are expected to read at the start of every lesson. As part of the equipment required for learning our pupils are expected to bring a reading book to school every day, as this is a fundamental part of each lesson. Pupils are encouraged to read a wide range of literature and books which stretch and challenge their reading ability. Reading allows our pupils to build on the following:
At Lea Manor High School we are uncompromising in the belief that there are no shortcuts to success and our curriculum centres itself on building resilience, responsibility, rationality, reflectiveness, and resourcefulness in all our pupils. Our curriculum is diverse and inclusive and prepares our pupils for modern life outside of Lea Manor High School.
