In Key Stage 3, students in Years 7 8 and 9 may be mixed according to needs,
which could be social, academic or behavioural. Most Students will be
with others who are within 12 months of their birth date, but there will be
exceptions when students are grouped together to maximise their learning
opportunities.
In Key Stage 4 and 5 students may be within their own year groups as
tutor/class groupings but may also be with other groupings for some
practical subjects, eg PE, Art and Design, Drama, Music and ICT.
Students can also be placed in different groups to follow Examination
Courses.
In all Key Stages there are identified groups of students with very specific
complex Needs who are taught according to their highly individual
requirements.
In September 2011 there will be a total of 20 classes; 5 classes in Key
Stage 3, 5 classes in Key Stage 4, and 7 Resourced classes for students with
Complex Needs, and 3 groups of Post 16 students where programmes will be
delivered in partnership with Ossett Academy Sixth Form.
