04 Jan Invitation to Open Day 2017 – ‘Achieving Ambitions’
I am delighted to invite P6 and P7 Pupils and their parents to our Open Days on:
Saturday 28th January 2017 from 9.30am to noon
Wednesday 1st February 2017 from 7pm to 9pm
This year we are launching Tailored Learning Pathways for September 2017 – Grammar and All Ability
Grammar Pathway and All Ability Pathway
The emphasis at Ulidia Integrated College is on meeting the needs of all abilities to the highest academic standards. We are passionate about learning and want our students to share our enthusiasm. Our aim is to challenge pupils to develop new approaches to learning, to be encouraged to excel and to experience success in all areas of the curriculum.
We cater for all learning styles, paces and potentials. In order to provide for all of our pupils, we offer two distinct but intertwined Learning Pathways:
- An ‘All Ability Pathway’ for young people who prefer a blend of academic and vocational studies and
- A ‘Grammar Pathway’ for young people who thrive in a more demanding academic setting
- Both Pathways are combined for pastoral and enrichment classes where all pupils work together
On our Grammar Pathway, young people are challenged to go the extra mile, to dedicate themselves to academic study and to reach for the highest possible achievements.
Our All Ability Pathway requires the highest individual standards from each of our pupils according to their potential. We expect them to strive to become the best they can be, to celebrate and gain confidence from their successes, and go on to embrace even greater challenges.
By offering both Pathways in one College, pupils have the opportunity to move between Pathways as they develop, mature and identify potential careers. This ensures their curriculum always reflects their ability, is appropriately challenging and engages their interest throughout their College life.
GCSE and A Level examination options are open to all students regardless of their learning Pathway if they demonstrate appropriate ability in that subject area.
This means that we offer a learning environment that challenges pupils to meet their potential combined with the flexibility to tailor educational qualifications to each individual’s ability and aspirations.
I look forward to welcoming you on our Open Days.
Sincerely
M Houston
Principal
