In March 2021 the Department for Education announced funding for secondary schools to run a short summer school programme with the main aim of supporting the transition of students moving from Year 6 to Year 7 but also to support any missed curricular opportunities for older students.
Malton School secured £16,798 to run a one week programme for Year 6 students which included a blend of academic education and enrichment activities providing bespoke literacy and numeracy catch up options for students whose parents or schools had indicated that they may benefit from additional support as part of the programme. The programme also provided other curriculum opportunities in Maths, English, Geography, Science, Computing, Drama, Music and Sport to students from Year 6 to 11 as well as providing enrichment activities such as netball and football tournament to engage those who had missed out on competitive sport in the winter term.
For more information on our Summer School programme please contact Mr Fenwick, Deputy Headteacher.
