INTRODUCTION This booklet has been introduced to provide you with information about your child’s learning at The Winchester School during the academic year 2016-2017. It provides information such as each Subject studied, resources and websites. etc. At Winchester School we believe that students should be given a broad and balanced curriculum which equips them for life beyond the school gates in the Twenty First Century. The aims of education are to enhance student's knowledge, skills, creativity, experience, imagination and foster innovation and entrepreneurship skills, while instilling values of global citizenship! Best wishes for a year filled with fun , excitement and challenges. We stand true to our motto-“Every Child Matters”.

MATHEMATICS The aim of the Mathematics course in KS3 is to enable students to develop lively, enquiring minds, to elicit an appreciation of Mathematics and to allow them to think logically and rationally.
KS3 Mathematics is a two year course which enables pupils to develop the necessary skills and understanding that will give them a solid foundation for the more rigorous demands of KS4. In Years 7 to 8, students follow the National Curriculum of England. In Year 9 pupils start the IGCSE course. Course Content The following four strands will be assessed in equal proportion.
Numbers Algebra Geometry and Measures Probability and Statistics
In Year 7 & 8, Maths leads directly into the IGCSE course followed at KS4.
The KS3 course uses material from a variety of sources; however, students in years 7 and 8 will follow the Essential Mathematics books and Students in year 9 use Cambridge IGCSE Maths Student Book published by Collins.

ART Art and Design
Students shall be taught to develop their creativity and ideas, and increase proficiency in their execution. They should develop a critical understanding of artists and designers, expressing reasoned judgments that can inform their own work. Student`s will be taught:
to use a range of techniques to record their observations in sketchbooks and
other media as a basis for exploring their ideas
to use a range of techniques and media, including painting
to increase their understanding in the handling of different materials and surfaces.
to analyse and evaluate their own work, and that of others, in order to strengthen the visual impact or applications of their work about the history of art, craft, design and styles and major movements from ancient times up to the present day.
Artist visual representations and independent thinking through cultural identity
Developing thinking Learners to develop their thinking across different context and visual presentations through the processes of planning, developing and reflecting. In art and design, learners explore and experiment with a range of information and resources to
23
plan, develop and reflect on their creative activities. They shall challenge assumptions, look at things in a new way and promote receptiveness to new ideas. They shall develop the ability to recognize similarities or differences and make unlikely connections, build on ideas to make better ideas, and take advantage of the unexpected.
