‘Our aim is to inspire our students to develop their skills, talents and character through a wide range of activities, to use their curiosity and creativity and find new ways of achieving their potential and to have the confidence, drive and resilience to follow their dreams.’
Year 7 and 8
During their first two years of school, we will actively encourage students to work towards eight awards which will ensure that they have a wide and varied experience during their time at Stoke High School. They will complete some aspects during fortnightly form time enrichment sessions and be supported by their form tutor to complete other aspects in their own time.
Students will aim to complete all eight awards in order to achieve the ‘Stoke Spirit Award’
Year 9
In year 9, in addition to the extra-curricular activities which are offered, our curriculum broadens. This ensures that our Year 9 students experience a range of diverse, exciting, and inspirational opportunities, which motivate and prepare them for their next steps.
Students will be given the opportunity to complete the following awards/qualifications:
Years 10 and 11
In years 10 and 11, the focus will move towards supporting students with their next steps. The experiences gained in years 7-9 will support with this, providing students with a wealth of experiences to be able to draw upon when applying for post 16 provision.
Mental wellbeing will continue to be supported by our range of extra-curricular activities. Alongside this, we will actively encourage students to develop their leadership skills for example as part of the prefect team or supporting younger students as an Aunt or Uncle.
