From the Ark Pioneer Academy
The Ark Pioneer curriculum goes above and beyond the academic programme to build a strong foundation for our kids' complete development. We are convinced that our services will empower every student to contribute to society with knowledge and confidence while fostering meaningful relationships with others. establishing measures to provide people with guidance on maintaining their physical and emotional health (see our RSE Policy for further information on the specifics of our Relationships and Sex Education programme). preparing students for life after school by fostering in them a sense of reflection and responsibility as students, family members, and citizens. developing in them a respect for diversity, our school's values, and the fundamental ideas of British culture. Each Ark Pioneer student will attend one assembly and four weekly, thirty-minute tutoring sessions (up to 30 minutes long). During tutoring sessions, students will learn about the curriculum's ideals and character-building components. As the cornerstone of our incentive structure, these four concepts pervade every element of Ark Pioneer life (for further details on this, please see the Ark Pioneer Behaviour Policy). Additionally, through assemblies, the tutor programme, and our pillar days, we will explicitly teach pupils about our ideals. They'll set the guidelines for pupils as they develop into young adults and get ready for life after school.
