What the college says

Teachers will facilitate the learning of the students by motivating and encouraging them and providing a stimulating learning environment. In this way we hope to develop attitudes such as enquiry, initiative, precision and insight. All of the teaching resources and supporting material are available on the Arden VLE. In addition to revision resources, lesson work and homework all topics include pre-learning work that should be completed prior to lesson. This approach enables pupils to become familiar with key terms, definitions and concepts before the lesson. Practical lessons will now become a more central part of the course with students being continually assessed and developed during the course to a university standard of practical ability. This practical work will take the form of projects and a wide variety of written work, presentations, calculations, problem solving and data handling. Students will build a portfolio of evidence to submit to the exam board based on their practical work and the final examinations will have a high proportion of practical based assessment.
