INTRODUCTION
Our aim is for your child to be part of our confident learning community, enjoying their time at school
and learning from a broad and balanced curriculum which will help them develop as successful
learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors. At Oakley we
appreciate the importance of close and effective communication between home and school. Good
communication enables the school community to work co-operatively in the best interests of the
children.
This handbook outlines the key issues associated with your child’s education this year.
We follow the British National Curriculum at Key Stage 3. At Key Stage 4 and 5 we follow the
(I)GCSE and A level courses provided by Cambridge or Edexcel exam boards. This is complimented
by Spanish language and culture. Our aim is for your child to be part of our confident learning
community, enjoying their time at school and learning from a broad and balanced curriculum which
will help them develop as successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and
effective contributors.
In Secondary, students take increased responsibility for their academic education and for their
actions.
Our staff are here to help so please do not hesitate to ask. You can also make an appointment
through the office. We look forward to seeing you at the beginning of year meeting, and the report
evenings at the end of each term. Working together we can make a real difference to your child’s
education.

SECONDARY BRITISH EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
Key Stage 3 (Y7, Y8, Y9) In Key Stage 3 the students follow a broad curriculum studying a range of subjects in order to build up their skills, knowledge and understanding in each area. During this time they are encouraged to become increasingly organised and independent students and individuals, responsible for their own achievement. Key Stage 4 (Y10 & Y11) Key Stage 4 is a two year cycle leading to the first external examinations from which the student will gain their formal academic qualifications. Students study a broad range of subjects following International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) curricula qualifications; the students take externally marked exams at the end of Y10 and Y11. Some subjects also have a coursework component that is also marked externally. A grade is awarded for each subject taken. Additionally, the programme includes some non-examined subjects which are required in the UK, such as PE and PSHE and which Oakley College embrace as essential components in providing a balanced education. Key Stage 5 (Y12 & Y13) This pre-university stage is known as The Sixth Form, and corresponds to the two years of Secondary Education between the ages of 16 and 18. The sixth form qualifications in the United Kingdom are AS (Advanced Subsidiary- half A2 level) and A2-level (Advanced level) Students study up 5 AS level subjects during Y12 and continue studying up to 4 A-levels in Year 13. Pass grades for AS Level are: A, B, C, D and E, with the added possibility of achieving A* at A2 for the highest achievers.

Preparation for Learning
Secondary students will develop as independent individuals who are organised and responsible for
their commitments. This is not always a smooth process at a time of increasing distraction for
children, and invariably requires support from parents and from staff.
We support this development in our students with Responsibility for Learning (RfL). RfL consists of
attitudes and strategies for learning, which will help the students become more effective and
independent.
Responsibility for Learning (RfL)
We believe that in the right environment with the right attitude all students are capable of
achieving and succeeding. We share that responsibility with all students and your families.
The student´s Responsibility for Learning is a vital part of the whole process of learning. It
will reflect the extent to which he /she is developing their student skills and their commitment
to using these skills to improve their learning in each subject. These attitudes for learning andstudent skills all support each other, and students should work with teachers, other students
and parents to develop and apply them. They include the following 6 points:
1. Problem-solving: finding a way to understand or solve things on which you are stuck.
2. Independence: developing the ability to find answers, check answers and to learn on your
own. Students will certainly need help to develop this to begin with.
3. Responsibility: taking ownership of the learning; motivating yourself; gauging your own
progress; not making excuses, but instead finding ways to improve.
4. Resilience: not giving up when things get hard. You are only really learning something
new when you have to go and find it out, or really have to work at it.
5. Challenge: find challenge in all your studies and in homework. Take on challenges with
enthusiasm — it is when you learn the most, and you learn more quickly.
6. Resourcefulness: making sure you are using all the strategies available to solve
problems, and making good use of sources of information, expertise and knowledge.
Students are expected to arrive on time at school each day equipped for their programme on that
day, and are responsible for their own preparation to learn within the school community.
Equipment
All students are expected to arrive each day with the following:
their planner
their fully charged Chromebook
two working pens
a pencil
a ruler
a protractor
a compass
a calculator
scissors
books and equipment for each individual subject on that day
homework for the lessons on each individual day
PE kit, when required for lessons
any specialist kit for clubs on that day
dry-wipe pen
Lateness
At Oakley we believe that students should arrive on time for school so that they can take part in the
form time activities. Further to this it helps prepare for adult life. We hold monthly late detentions
after school on a Friday. Parents will be informed about this by email in the week leading up to the
detention and students will be informed by their form tutor
If a student is late 3-4 times a month, then they serve a 15 minute detention
If a student is late 5-9 times a month they serve a 30 minute detention
If a student is late 10+ times a month they will serve a 60 minute detention and parents will be
invited into school for a meeting with the Head of Secondary
Policies
The school policies are essentially the governing documents by which the school is run. They are
available on the website - https://oakleycollege.com/downloads-page/#top.Uniform Policy
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UVxR7ohbsDwhcofUa7oqQTYaicqBVIya Policy
Sixth Form Privileges
Sixth Form Students hold the privilege of:
using a phone for essential calls ONLY. Calls can only be made:
in the designated area
outside of lesson time
when the students are on their own
using a phone to listen to music in the library area to aid personal study and concentration with the
following conditions:
headphones are not shared between students (ie an
earpiece each is not accepted)
music is played at a volume which is discrete and for the individual user only
There are no exceptions to this rule. The conditions and sanctions apply as for students in other year
groups.
Use of Student Planner
Each student will be given a student planner to note down each piece of homework and when it is
due to be handed in. We ask all parents to help their son/ daughter to organise themselves by
checking their diary daily and signing on a weekly basis. The diary should also be used as a form of
communication between home and school. All students will have their homework checked and
signed by their form tutor on a weekly basis.
Homework
Homework load will gradually increase throughout the Secondary Department from one hour to three
hours a night. Homework will be relevant and varied, challenging students’ skills as well as
knowledge and understanding.
Homework needs to be done sat at a table in a quiet area away from the TV or other distractions;
students should get used to using a regular working environment where they know they can go to
study in peace. It should allow ready-access to resources and support material. Students need to
quickly develop good personal study habits as they enter the Secondary Department.
In offering support to your son or daughter, help them reflect on their Responsibility for Learning, as
well as:
Strategies in approaching the work
Focussing on what is required to make the work successful
Looking to improve on specific skills, ways of working or knowledge areas which have
previously been less successful for students.
Homework marks count towards termly subject marks. If homework is not properly completed it will
have a serious effect on the student's subject grades and their termly report.
Lockers
All secondary students are provided with lockers and must use them. These will be assigned to
students at the start of the year and parents will be billed for the deposit of the key. Deposits are
returned in exchange for the key.The locker is so that students
Do not have to carry around all their books for the day
Do not have to carry their PE kit around all day
Have a place to keep their packed lunch
Have a safe place to put their bag during lunch time
Students should only go to their lockers:
Before registration
At break time
At lunchtime
At the end of school
Students should not be using their lockers in between lessons
Library
The school offers a free lending service throughout the year. Students can borrow a maximum of
three books for a two week period. Text books for subjects are loaned for the whole year and they
should be returned before the end of June.
Parents will receive an E-mail advising them of overdue books.
In case the book cannot be returned, due to loss or damage, there are two options.
a) Buy the same book and give it to the school
b) Make a set payment of:
- €8 for books in Primary (Year 1 to Year 6)
- €15 for books in Secondary (Year 7 to Year 13)
- €25 for textbooks, encyclopaedias and dictionariesAssemblies Assemblies are held on a Wednesday in the school gym and parents are welcome to attend. The assemblies below are led by the senior teachers on general themes of the school: Rewards (students will be awarded certificates and prizes for hard work, attainment and house points) Book day Poetry day Maths MFL (Modern Foreign Languages) Houses Science Every class are assigned a general theme to present on usually from work they have done in their PSHE lessons These themes will include: School rules Religions of the world Wasteful society Bullying Animal welfare Volunteering Democracy Cyber bullying Drugs Environment Kindness University Careers Health Diet Exercise Responsibility Medicines Medicines should only be taken to school when essential; that is where it would be detrimental to a child’s health if the medicine were not administered during the school day. The school will only accept medicines that have been prescribed by a doctor, dentist, nurse prescriber or pharmacist prescriber. Medicines should always be provided in the original container as dispensed by a pharmacist and include the prescriber’s instructions for administration and dosage. The school cannot accept medicines that have been taken out of the container as originally dispensed nor make changes to dosages on parental instructions. Only office staff are authorised to give medicines to children. Staff may supervise older children self-administering medicine on school trips. Student Absence If a student is absent from school parents must notify the office on the actual day of absence. On their return to school the student must bring either a doctor´s note or a note from the parents clarifying the reason for the absence. This must be handed in to the office.
Trips
There are a number of educational trips run by the school. Some of these are subject-based whilst
some are available to all students. Details of these will be sent to parents by letter as they arise.
Overseas trips
As part of Oakley´s commitment to our students personal development, the school organises a
variety of oversees trip for secondary students. Destinations include Germany, Italy, Spain and
France.
Electronic Equipment
Mobile phones and personal music devices (MP3s) are not allowed in school
Any phones or MP3 players found to be in use on the school premises will be confiscated and
handed to the Head of Secondary who will place them in the safe. Use refers to any device which is
switched on. This rule applies to all students.
The incident will be recorded, and the phone will be returned to the parent of the student.
Parental access to school during the working day
The norms of accessing the school during the working day are in accordance with the stipulations
set out by the Directorate-General for Educational Centres and Infrastructure: "In general, parents
cannot interrupt the learning process or school hours in order to communicate with their children
during the school day."
In case emergency access is required, permission must be requested from the Head of Primary or
Secondary.
BEHAVIOUR POLICY
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_Nv1EMRV422sQDwv_4uPwQEWXKCqMItV
We have a positive behaviour policy based on mutual respect for others and for the community. This
principle provides the foundation for all behaviour in our community, and good behaviour is expected
from all members of the school community at all times.
THE CURRICULUM
The curriculum at Oakley College is designed to fulfil the following:
provide subject knowledge which will allow students to obtain qualifications
provide broad academic study which will inform students’ future choices, opinions, interests and
actions, giving them knowledge on which they can draw throughout life
allow students to experience express and create, providing a foundation on which they can build a
rich life
Integral to their academic study, students will be supported in developing their skills as students
through their lessons, with guidance and support from teachers. Students will be led to begin to:
understand themselves as students, and how to make their study more effective and efficient.
evaluate own work and the work of others organise their own study schedule, and manage competing demands from activities, homework
and their own interests and social lives
interpret feedback objectively and use it to plan and implement improvements in their subject
knowledge, the work they produce and their approach to study
become independent learners who are resourceful, resilient, curious and critical learners
Key Stage 3 Curriculum Programme

All students will study English, Spanish, Mathematics, Science (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) and
a Modern foreign Language (French or German) as core IGCSE examination subjects. Students
must also select two IGCSE examination subjects from the Options – one subject must be selected
from each group.
OPTION 1 and OPTION 2 subjects for Year 10 and 11 are grouped each year to allow students the
greatest amount of preferred choice. These options include Art, History, Business Studies,
Geography, ICT and Physical Education. Information on making these choices is presented to

Key Stage 5 Curriculum Programme (Sixth Form)
The Sixth Form study programme requires students to show advanced levels of academic
endeavour, understanding, and independent studentship. Teachers and tutors will work to support
students in making the significant leap towards achieving the academic independence and
resourcefulness, in skills, organisation as well as the critical and evaluative thinking required to be
successful at university and as leaders in work and society.
This progression is central to all subject programmes at A level, and will be supported directly within
subject lessons and through school support programmes.
Students are expected to select a minimum of three subjects and a maximum of four for study at A
level, with an additional Fase especifíca option in 2 of the subjects they are already taking.
The option choices are set into blocks each year to cater for the interest and demands of specific
year groups entering into Year 12. Consequently, these ´choice options´ will change each year. The
subjects which are presently available at A level are: Art, Biology, Business Studies, Physical
Education, French, ICT, Chemistry, English Language and Literature, Geography, German,
Mathematics, Physics, Spanish Language and Literature (A2), Spanish Literature (AS).
Subject
Option 1 A level (Required)
Option 2 A level (Required)
Option 3 A level (Required)
“Fase” option or Option 4 A level (optional)
“Fase” option or Option 4 A level (optional)
PSHE (Required)
English Skills C2 (optional)
PE (Required)
School policy requires students to meet the following criteria before they enter Year 12
● Five passes (A*- C grades or 9 to 4) at GCSE level or equivalent
● It is preferred that they attain a B or grade 6 in the subjects that they would like
to take.
● Students need to have passed a C1 Cambridge language exam either externally or
internally
● Students will also need a full community service portfolio with all the necessary
hours completed, with photographic evidence and where possible certification.
● Students will also need to have an interview with the Principal.Assessment Students will receive regular feedback on their work. This feedback may be in the form of a mark, particularly for tests. Work will also contain comments and guidance, which will inform the students of what they have done well, what they should target next for improvement and what action they should take towards achieving these improvements. The feedback may make reference to knowledge, or skills and technique. As students’ progress through Secondary they are expected to become increasingly adept at both evaluating their own work, and at formulating their own action to appropriately address areas for improvement. To this end we expect students to reply to comments made by teachers in purple pen to form a constructive dialogue about their work. Classwork, assessments, examinations, homework tasks and other learning tasks are used to continually gauge student progress and to assess student achievement, as well as to inform staff in providing an individual, challenging programme for students during the year. This is known as teacher assessment. Reporting Grades At GCSE and A level, the grades used to report student progress will be based on those used by the external examination boards. Throughout KS4 and KS5 the grades reported by staff will be the grade which the teacher anticipates the student will achieve in their final external examination if the student maintains their present level of application to work and rate of progression, referenced to their current level of achievement Reports At the end of the first term the report will have the teacher assessed level, their target for the year, an average mark and their effort grade for each subject. There will also be a comment from their tutor as to how they have settled into the year. At the end of the second term the report will have the teacher assessed level, their target for the year, an average mark and their effort grade for each subject. A short comment from each subject teacher and a comment from their tutor as to their overall progress. At the end of the year the report will have the teacher assessed level, their target for the year, an average mark and their effort grade for each subject. A full comment from each subject teacher and a comment from their tutor as to their overall progress for the year. Reports record the achievement and the Effort grade of the students. Global marks, at the end of term 3, are calculated as the average of the three term grades. Resit Examinations These are sat at the beginning of the final week of the summer break by students in Year 7-10. These only apply to the core subjects of English, Maths and Science, where the final examination grade confirms poor attainment throughout the year, and prevents students accessing the continuation of the course in the following year. The Principal and Head of Secondary will meet with the student and parents if a student does not achieve a satisfactory grade in their resit examination, in which case it may be recommended that the student resit the academic year. Coursework for GCSE and A Level students
Deadlines for coursework submission are published to students and parents. These include draft coursework deadlines and final coursework deadlines. Deadlines for draft submission The draft coursework should be to the highest standard the student can achieve. This will enable the teacher to provide more complete constructive feedback. If a student misses the deadline then they miss the opportunity for feedback. Deadline (Final) If a student fails to hand in their coursework on the final draft date the student will receive zero marks for that piece of work. This will considerably compromise their final GCSE examination grade. Community service As a school we believe that community is important and especially the one in which we live. We believe that we should try and help our community, other people and maybe those who need our help. Therefore as a school we have a compulsory community service programme KS3 = 6 hours a year KS4 = 12 hours a year KS5 = 18 hours a year Students are expected with the guidance of their tutor and Key Stage Managers to set up their own community service, this is so they can become independent, resourceful and problem solving. Once this is done they need to attend and complete the necessary hours. This can be done at several places and the school also offers opportunities to complete hours through race for hunger and translation at parent´s evening. During the community service students need to take photographs to add to their booklet as evidence that they have completed the task. The community service programme will help our community and also help our students to become better citizens Cambridge English Language Exams As a school we enter our students for Cambridge English language exams. The students have an English skills lesson once a week that helps them to prepare for these exams. We believe that these exams help the students to access the British curriculum, GCSE´s and A levels. Therefore if they can do this successfully then they will achieve better grades. Further to this they will have an official exam in English, certifying their level in English reading, writing, listening and speaking. This is something that employers and universities look for. Year 7 – No exam but general preparation for the Exams Year 8 A2 (PET) Year 9 B1 (KET) Year 10 B2 (First certificate) Year 11 C1 (advanced) Year 12 C2 (proficiency) this is optional These exams take place at the end of May and the start of June, usually on a Saturday and where possible are sat at Oakley College. Although there may be times when students will need to go to other schools to sit these exams. As a school we feel so strongly about the importance of these exams, that if students do not pass these exams they will not be allowed to progress to the next year. If a student does not pass the Cambridge exam there will be a chance to re-sit an internal English exam at the end of August. As an alternative to the Cambridge exams students can sit the internal English skills exam which take place at the end of the internal exam week. However this does not come with an official exam. The students will have to also pass this to progress to the next year. If a student does not pass the internal exam there will be a chance to re-sit the exam at the end of August.

Seguimos el British National Curriculum, Currículo Nacional Británico, en KS3. En KS4 y 5
seguimos el (I) GCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) y los cursos
de A Level diseñados por Cambridge o Edexcel. Este currículo es complementado por las
asignaturas de Lengua y Cultura Española. Nuestro objetivo es que sus hijos formen parte de
una comunidad de aprendizaje segura de sí misma, que disfruten del tiempo que pasan en el
colegio, a la vez que aprenden de una programación amplia y equilibrada que les ayudará a
desarrollar sus habilidades y aptitudes de forma satisfactoria, trabajando la confianza en símismos, para llegar a ser ciudadanos responsables que contribuyen de forma eficaz en
nuestra sociedad.
En Secundaria, los alumnos asumen mayor responsabilidad, tanto en su educación
académica como en sus actos.
Nuestro personal está a su disposición para ayudar en lo que sea necesario, así que no
duden en preguntarnos cualquier duda que pueda surgirles. Si necesita tratar un tema más a
fondo, puede concertar una cita en la oficina. Esperamos verles en la reunión de comienzo de
curso y en las reuniones de fin de trimestre. Trabajando juntos podremos hacer que sus hijos
disfruten de una educación de calidad.
PROTECCIÓN DEL MENOR
El colegio tiene una clara normativa a la hora de tratar con aspectos de la protección del menor. La
normativa la pueden encontrar en nuestra página web (Descargas/Normativas). La orientadora, los
jefes de Primaria y Secundaria, junto con el Director, son los responsables designados para la
Protección del Menor.

Durante esta etapa se les motiva a ser cada vez más organizados e independientes, responsables de sus propios logros. Key Stage 4 (Y10 y Y11) Key Stage 4 comprende un ciclo de dos cursos que está enfocado a la realización de exámenes externos, en los que los alumnos obtendrán sus calificaciones académicas oficiales. Los alumnos estudian una amplia variedad de asignaturas dirigidas a la obtención del IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education – Certificado General Internacional de Educación Secundaria), equivalente al Certificado de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. Al finalizar los estudios de Y10 y Y11, los alumnos realizan exámenes que serán corregidos por organismos externos. Se obtiene una calificación por cada asignatura cursada. Además, el programa incluye algunas asignaturas, como Educación Física y Educación Personal, Social y para la Salud , que no precisan de exámenes, pero que son requeridas en el Reino Unido y que el Oakley entiende como componentes fundamentales que complementan una formación equilibrada Bachillerato – Key Stage 5 (Y12 y Y13) Esta etapa pre-universitaria se conoce como Sixth Form (Bachillerato) y corresponde a los 2 años de Educación Secundaria que comprenden las edades entre 16 y 18 años. Las calificaciones de Bachillerato en el Reino Unido utilizan la nomenclatura AS (Advanced Subsidiary-half A2 level) y A2-level (Nivel avanzado). Los alumnos realizan hasta 5 asignaturas AS level en Y12 y continúan estudiando hasta 4 asignaturas A-level en Year 13. Las calificaciones de aprobado en AS level son: A, B, C, D y E, con la posibilidad añadida de obtener A* en A2 para los mejores calificados.

Cada tutor verá a sus alumnos cada mañana al pasar lista y durante la semana en las clases correspondientes. Los tutores también impartirán las clases de PSHE (Educación Personal, Social y para la Salud), mediante las que podrán dar respuesta a las posibles necesidades específicas del grupo y problemas dentro de la clase. Tutores de Year 7- Mr Andrew H y Miss Annie Tutores de Year 8 – Miss Gemma y Miss Laura Tutores de Year 9 – Miss Paula y Mr Scott Tutores de Year 10 – Mr Jacek y Mr Martin Tutor de Year 11- Mr Andy y Mr Jacek Andrzeczak Tutor de Year 12 – Mr Miguel Tutor de Year 13 - Miss Anne Jefes de Sección Ellos se encargan de la supervisión general de las secciones en términos de progreso y comportamiento Key stage 3- Mr Felipe Key stage 4- Mr Liam Key stage 5- Miss Chani Preparación para el aprendizaje Los alumnos de Secundaria desarrollarán sus habilidades como personas independientes organizadas y responsables de sus obligaciones. Esto no siempre es tarea fácil en un momento en el que los alumnos atraviesan una etapa de mayores distracciones, y por supuesto requiere el apoyo de padres y profesores. Mediante el concepto “Responsabilidad ante el aprendizaje” (RfL) apoyamos la evolución de nuestros alumnos. La “Responsabilidad ante el aprendizaje” consiste en desarrollar actitudes y estrategias de aprendizaje, que ayudarán a los alumnos a trabajar con más eficacia y a ser más independientes.
Responsabilidad ante el aprendizaje
Creemos que en un ambiente adecuado y con la actitud adecuada, todos los estudiantes son
capaces de alcanzar sus objetivos con éxito. En Oakley compartimos esa responsabilidad
con todos los estudiantes y sus familias.
Tu Responsabilidad ante el aprendizaje (Rfl) es una parte vital del proceso de
aprendizaje. En él se reflejará hasta qué punto estás desarrollando tus habilidades y tu
compromiso para mejorar tu aprendizaje en cada asignatura. Las actitudes hacia el
aprendizaje y las habilidades de los estudiantes se complementan y deberás trabajar con tus
profesores, compañeros y padres para desarrollarlas y aplicarlas. Comprenden los
siguientes 6 puntos:
1.- Ser resolutivos: Encontrar una forma de entender y resolver áreas en las cuales los
estudiantes están bloqueados.
2.- Independencia: Desarrollar la habilidad de encontrar respuestas, comprobar respuestas
y aprender de forma independiente. Seguramente necesitarás ayuda para desarrollar esta
habilidad al principio.
3.- Responsabilidad: Ser responsables del aprendizaje; aprendiendo a motivarse, a medir
su propio progreso, a no poner excusas, sino a encontrar el modo de mejorar.
4.- Resistencia: No rindiéndose cuando las cosas se pongan difíciles. La única forma de
aprender algo nuevo es hacerlo de forma proactiva o trabajando realmente duro en ello.
5.- Desafío: Concebir el estudio y las tareas como un desafío. Afrontar desafíos con
entusiasmo es la forma en la que mejor y más rápido se aprende.
6.- Tener recursos: Los estudiantes deben asegurarse de estar utilizando todas las
estrategias de las que disponen para solucionar problemas y de hacer buen uso de la
información, de la pericia y de los conocimientos.
Se espera que los estudiantes lleguen puntuales al colegio, equipados para el programa del día y
que sean responsables de su propia preparación para aprender dentro de la comunidad escolar.
Material
Los alumnos deberán traer a clase cada día el siguiente material:
Agenda/diario
Chromebook completamente cargado
Dos bolígrafos
Lápiz
Regla
Transportador
Compás
Calculadora
Tijeras
Los libros y el material para las asignaturas de ese día
La tarea para las clases de cada día
Uniforme de Educación Física cuando sea necesario
Material necesario para las actividades
Rotulador para pizarra blancaRetrasos En Oakley creemos que los estudiantes deben llegar puntuales al colegio para que puedan participar en todas las actividades. Además, esto los prepara para su futuro como adultos. Para promover la puntualidad, tenemos un sistema de penalización por retraso los viernes después de las clases. Informaremos a los padres por e-mail a principios de la semana de la penalización y los estudiantes serán informados por sus tutores. Si un estudiante llega tarde de 3 a 4 veces al mes, tendrán que quedarse 15 minutos. Si un estudiante llega tarde de 5 a 9 veces al mes, tendrá que quedarse 30 minutos. Si un estudiante llega tarde más de 10 veces al mes, tendrá que quedarse 60 minutos y se les pedirá a los padres que vengan al colegio para reunirse con el Jefe de Secundaria. Normativas Escolares Las normativas escolares son básicamente los documentos por los que se rige el colegio. Están disponibles en la web - https://oakleycollege.com/pagina-descargas/?lang=es. Normativa del uso del uniforme escolar https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UVxR7ohbsDwhcofUa7oqQTYaicqBVIya Policy Privilegios de Bachillerato El alumnado de Bachillerato disfruta del privilegio de: - Utilizar el teléfono SÓLO para llamadas de urgencia, que se podrán realizar: · Sólo en la zona designada para ello. · Fuera del horario de las clases. · Cuando el alumno esté a solas. - Utilizar un teléfono para escuchar música en la zona de la Biblioteca si es con el fin de ayudar a su concentración y estudio, pero con las siguientes condiciones: · Los auriculares no se podrán compartir con otros alumnos (un auricular cada uno no está permitido). · La música estará a un volumen discreto y sólo para uso personal. No hay excepciones para estas reglas. Las condiciones y penalizaciones se aplican igual que a los demás cursos. Uso de la agenda de deberes A cada alumno se le entregará un diario o agenda para anotar las tareas y las fechas de entrega de trabajos. Pedimos a los padres a que ayuden a sus hijos a organizarse, comprobando su agenda a diario y firmándola una vez a la semana. La agenda se utilizará también como medio de comunicación entre casa y el colegio. Todos los alumnos tendrán sus tareas corregidas y firmadas por su tutor semanalmente. Deberes La cantidad de deberes aumentará gradualmente en Secundaria de una a tres horas diarias. La tarea será relevante y variada y tendrá el objetivo de retar a los alumnos para que demuestren sus habilidades, así como sus conocimientos y comprensión de la materia.
Es importante realizar las tareas en una mesa situada en una zona tranquila, lejos del televisor o de cualquier otra distracción, a ser posible, siempre en un mismo lugar donde puedan estudiar relajados, con fácil acceso a los recursos y al material de apoyo. Los alumnos necesitan desarrollar con rapidez buenos hábitos de estudio cuando entran en Secundaria. Una forma de apoyar a sus hijos en el trabajo, es ayudarles a reflexionar sobre su Responsabilidad ante el Aprendizaje, además de: · Buscar estrategias para realizar la tarea. · Centrarse en lo que se le pide, para que el trabajo salga bien. · Mejorar las habilidades específicas, la forma de trabajar o las áreas de conocimiento que hayan presentado más dificultades a los alumnos. La puntuación de las tareas contará en el cómputo de las calificaciones trimestrales de las asignaturas y si un trabajo no se realiza adecuadamente, afectará en gran medida a las calificaciones y notas trimestrales. Taquillas En Secundaria todos los estudiantes dispondrán de una taquilla que se les asignará a principio de curso. Se cobrará un depósito a los padres que será rembolsado cuando los estudiantes devuelvan la llave de su taquilla. Las taquillas se utilizan para que el estudiante no tenga que: · Cargar con todos sus libros durante todo el día. · Cargar con su uniforme de Educación Física todo el día. · Tenga un lugar para guardar su “packed lunch”. · Tenga un lugar seguro donde pueda dejar su mochila durante el almuerzo. Los estudiantes sólo pueden ir a su taquilla: · Antes de pasar lista · En el recreo · En el almuerzo · Al final de la jornada escolar Los estudiantes no deben usar las taquillas en medio de las clases.
Biblioteca El colegio ofrece un servicio gratuito de préstamo bibliotecario durante el curso escolar. Los alumnos pueden sacar un máximo de 3 libros por un período de 2 semanas. Los libros de texto de cada asignatura se prestan para todo el curso académico y deben devolverse antes de que termine junio. Cuando se vence la fecha de devolución de un libro, enviaremos un corro electrónico a los padres. En caso de que no puedan devolver un libro por pérdida o desperfecto del mismo, existen dos opciones: a) Comprar el mismo libro y entregarlo al colegio. b) Realizar un pago establecido de: - €8 para libros de Primaria (Year 1 a Year 6). - €15 para libros de Secundaria (Year 7 a Year 13). - €25 para libros de texto, enciclopedias y diccionarios.
