Year 10 Hub
The learning environment in Year 10 is supportive yet challenging, with a sense that students and their teachers are on an educational journey together. This is the first year of their two-year KS4 journey. Students start preparing for their GCSE examinations in all subjects. Our broad curriculum enables students to make well-informed decisions about their academic futures.
Teachers in Year 10 are experts in their curriculum area and use their wealth of skills to ensure that no student is left behind. Oracy, literacy and communication skills are key to this progress, being able to astutely articulate opinions and ideas in whole class discussion and being able to understand the ‘why’ of their learning are all key factors to the continued academic success of the students.
All students are well-supported. Where appropriate, we continue with literacy interventions, and increasingly offer subject-specific academic intervention to maximise all students' potential.
Pastoral care is central to our ethos. Ensuring all students feel happy and confident as they progress through the key stage is our top priority. The Year 10 team consists of a Year Leader, Pastoral Leader and an experienced tutor team which constitutes the wrap around team. Students have a supportive and robust career programme that tailors to preferences of our students, in order to help support Year 10 students in their career and future choices. This is delivered through various means, including virtual speakers, webinars and videos recorded by professionals from various industries specifically for students at The Hinckley School.
The ethos of PRIDE (Perseverance; Respect; Independence; Discipline; Engagement) is fully integrated and embedded within the Year 10 curriculum and is at the heart of everything we do. We encourage students to take more responsibility for themselves around school.
