Pupils are motivated to discover more and more knowledge beyond the curriculum. The original sparks and curiosity is kindled in lessons and by the cultural capital opportunities on the website (link). Pupils can also use their own purpose and passion to investigate further with the range of written material available in the NCS 100 and the Journals as well as taking their own research in their own direction.

There are many opportunities to showcase that cultural capital through your oracy in ways including school assemblies, pupil meeting spaces, committees (such as the council and Ambassadors meetings), debate club, and the school newsletter (podcasts), parents and pupils’ workshops and the mentoring of younger pupils across any of the aspects of school life.

In all these opportunities, staff will enable that genuine, sustained, and significant sophistication and test it in verbal interactions and the guidance of next steps, to be shown in school and beyond.
