The Malling School is a mixed
11-18 school and a specialist college in Science and
Sport since September 2009
in
recognition of the innovative approach to teaching, excellent
science results and superb facilities.
These include a brand new sports
hall, fitness suite, gymnasium, dance studio, PE research
laboratory and science laboratories.
The school’s unique setting, with a
well-stocked lake and surrounding habitats, is ideal for
practical investigations and biology and ecology projects.
As a result of the specialism,
students enjoy a huge variety of sports, whilst science courses
include Core and Additional Science and new vocational pathways,
personalised to meet the individual needs of students.
In Sports Science students cover
physiology and the theory behind good sports performance, using
the latest feedback techniques, gaining the skills and knowledge
to progress on to a range of sports and health related careers.
All students gain an appreciation
of man’s impact on the environment and the lifelong benefits of
healthy living.
In April 2009 Ofsted judged the school to
be good, with outstanding curriculum, care, guidance and
support.

record in improving the abilities and potential of its students.

80% pass rate in Additional Science, reflecting the strengths of
the specialism.

Holmesdale Technology College is a mixed 11-18 Technology College with
over
It teaches the full
curriculum but students can also specialise in technology subjects,
including Science, ICT, Maths and Design Technology, equipping them for
an increasingly technology-focused world.
The school is popular and heavily oversubscribed. Since 2006 it has been
recognised by the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust every year for its
success in improving outcomes for its students.
2009 GCSE results were the best ever recorded at the school with the number of
students achieving 5 GCSEs at grades A* to C, including
Maths and English, rising to 29%. The number achieving 5 GCSEs at
grades A* to C in any subject reached 80%.
In September 2007 Holmesdale moved into leading edge buildings,
following a two year complete re-build. The only part of the old school
remaining is the original 1930s facade. This was kept as a “landmark”
feature, with historical significance for the town. Even this part of
the school has been completely re-modelled to reflect a “school of the
future”. There
has been heavy investment in ICT, with WIFI throughout and a one
computer per student ratio.
New for 2009 is our fully equipped, state
of the art hair dressing salon.
Sixth form subjects are taught as part of a consortium with The Malling
School, a Sports and Science specialist college, Aylesford School –
Sports College and Wrotham School. |
