Teaching and Learning

The curriculum at Jack Hunt School is rich, varied and balanced.  It provides our students with the opportunity to excel.  All our students follow the National Curriculum leading, in Year 11, to GCSE courses and in some cases to Vocational qualifications and in the Sixth Form, to Advanced Supplementary Level (AS), Advanced Level (A2) General National Vocational Qualification (GNVQ) at Intermediate Level and Advanced Vocational Certificate Of Education (AVCE).

Supporting every subject area is our central, well-stocked Library Resource Centre, which holds books, tapes, videos, journals, computers, and CD Roms, all available to support the research and information skills necessary for effective learning.

The use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is a vital part of all our lives.  The school has excellent ICT facilities with Intranet and Broadband Internet access that allows the use of computers by all areas of the curriculum.  Our computer to student ratio is highly advantageous.

By concentrating on the teaching and learning; the content of the curriculum and developing the skills necessary to understand and use knowledge, we believe that we prepare our students well for the worlds of further or higher education and work.  Advice about Careers and student interviews offer opportunities for students' personal development and confidence building.  The skills and knowledge of staff are continually updated to ensure effective teaching.
