Curriculum
Transition Year
The Transition Year is optional and is availed
of by up to 60% of students. A Transition Year offers
pupils a broad educational experience with a view to the attainment
of increased maturity before proceeding to further study and/or vocational
preparation. It provides a bridge to help pupils make the transition
from a highly-structured environment to one where they will take
greater responsibility for their own learning and decision-making.
Pupils will participate in learning strategies which are active and experimental
and which help them to develop a range of transferable critical thinking and
creative problem-solving skills. The Transition Year should also provide
an opportunity for pupils to reflect on and develop an awareness of the value
of education and training in preparing them for the ever-changing demands of
the adult world of work and relationships.
The Transition Year Programme within the school has been a success from the
outset.
