PRIVATE STUDY IS ALWAYS OPEN FROM 8.15AM-6PM
Regarding learning spaces; the private study is open till 6, after school there will be teachers working in their classrooms and you can work there too, the library next door to the school is also available. Yes, there are 2 main big private study halls which is where we do our exams, i think this is good since when we are doing our exams we are not stressed out by the environment because we are used to the quietness and concentration during private study.
Unfortunately there is no common room; however, students can hang out anywhere around the school during break and lunch and we can go out at lunch time. We can not go library during school times however (I’m not sure why).
The math department is well established and effective, the lessons are interactive with lots of teamwork and whiteboard work. An online PEARSON EDEXCEL textbook is provided for free for all students. The structuring of the math department is quite good in terms of homework. The teachers really emphasise understanding the reason behind what we are doing, its not them just saying “THIS IS HOW U DO IT DONT QUESTION IT. JUST ACCEPT IT.” Instead they encourage questions and teach us where the process is derived from (the history, the reasoning, the proof) which I’m ngl made me like math a lot more. I dont do economics, but i have spoken to econ students. There are two teachers; Ms E and Mr M. From what i heard their lessons are enjoyable and relaxed (nothing hardcore and depressing). The teachers are really nice and relatable, and i have seen them using their free time to help students who have asked for out-of-lesson help. As all teachers do when they get frustrated; Ms E has a mighty voice.
Tomorrow, i will go through a list of the pros and cons aswell as aspects of the school which are inbetween. (I dont want to make u wait, but I’m tired and my back hurts so i wanna lie down)
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
