Curriculum
Aiming Higher
for Weston and North Somerset Students
Some 70 or more
of the most able Weston super Mare students from our 11-16 schools
are taking A/S level courses in Critical Thinking this year, at
least one year ahead of the usual time. They are part of a wider
group of approximately 250 from across North Somerset who are taking
the exams in May of 2005 as part of their school curriculum. They
are all meeting at the Winter Gardens on Friday 22nd April for a
conference, led by their Chief Examiner and another of the standard
Critical Skills texts Dr Roy Van Den Brink-Budgen. The conference
will see Dr Brink-Budgen lead them through exercises in preparation
for their exams. It will also feature a unique joint session where
our 15-16 year olds will work with their 17-19 counterparts in discussion
and problem solving activities.
Weston's Critical
Skills A/S level programme is funded and organised through the Aim
Higher Partnership, co-ordinated by Dr Nigel Cromey-Hawke of the
Weston Education Partnership, who have also arranged the conference.
North Somerset and especially Weston super Mare's young students
are definitely Aiming Higher in their qualifications.
Best of luck
in their examinations.
