The Senior Phase – Curriculum Structures

I am investigating what schools are considering with regards option choice in the Senior Phase. My own school is considering 6 options throughout S4/5/6 with 5 periods per option.  I would like to know what other schools around the country are considering (could you please also indicate which local authority your school belongs to).

Early Years Storyroom

In this video Margo will share with us how she uses Glow Meet as an Early Years Storyroom. This  involves older pupils reading their own story or published stories to nursery and primary school early years learners. It not only supports the  development of children’s learning in literacy and English, but also  provides transition opportunities and contributes to building the four capacities. It can be replicated within a school, cluster or authority.
