OUR VISION

The vision for Brecon High School

Overview

The curriculum experience for pupils attending Brecon High School has been developed to be as relevant, interesting and varied as possible. As pupils grow through the school, a wide range of opportunities are offered to them. Collectively, these enable pupils to develop into mature young adults. At the core of the school approach to the school curriculum is the development of pupil skills and the ability for these skills to be applied a range of issues. All Areas of Learning Experience (AOLEs) contribute directly to this provision and are responsible for the monitoring of how well pupils make progress each term.  

Brecon High School Vision Statement – Be The Best You Can Be

Every member of the school community is expected to be the very best they can be. Brecon High School’s key focus is to produce young adults that are confident to partake within society and make a positive difference to those around them. A core guiding principle that underpins this ambition is to encourage and develop personal resilience and responsibility amongst all pupils.

We believe in empowering pupils to take control of their own learning and to take ownership over how they learn as often as possible. By doing this, pupils will learn how to make good choices and also have the ability to thrive in a fast and ever-changing world.

By creating a learning environment that has high expectations of everyone – and by modelling the behaviour and standards that we expect from our pupils – we can provide the stepping-stones that bring dreams closer to reality.

This is an invitation to the ‘KS4 Options Team’ which was mentioned in Assembly this morning (Tuesday 2nd March). Within the ‘Files’ tab associated with this team you will find a short introduction PowerPoint and then folders for the various Areas of Learning Experience (AOLE’s) that have narrated PowerPoints and/or video presentations from teachers explaining what taking their option subject for GCSE would entail. It is envisaged that reading this material will help you formulate a list of subjects that you are interested in and that, coupled with discussions you will be able to have directly with teachers on the ‘Virtual parents day’ (11/03/21), you will then make a very informed decision on your option choice form that has to be completed this month – deadline 19/03/21).

Kind regards,

Mr Hirst
