Academics

We offer Cambridge and Zimsec education curricula with tailored support for varying abilities, equipped classrooms and campus-wide Wi-Fi for research. Our curriculum is designed to support learners in becoming

• Confident in working with information and ideas – their own and those of others.
• Innovative and equipped for new and future challenges.
• Reflective as learners, developing their ability to learn
• Responsible for themselves, responsive to and respectful of others
• Intellectually and socially ready to make a difference.

• It is expected that every pupil will work very hard at his/ her studies and do his best whilst Form teachers and Head of Department will play their part. If a student fails to hand in homework to a satisfactory standard a demerit card will be completed by the subject teacher and this will be passed to the Head of Department. This helps in providing support and intervention at an early stage if awareness is raised. This may take place either in a single subject or across subjects. A discussion can then be arranged with the student and his/her parents.

• Our syllabuses are reviewed and updated regularly so that they reflect the latest thinking of national and international experts and practitioners and take account of the different contexts in which they are taught

Learning Support

Hawk Ridge Senior School aims to provide a learning environment where students are challenged and assisted to reach their full academic potential. Students with learning differences receive support to remove learning barriers, and access the classroom content with confidence. Support structures include small group or individual sessions, homework assistance, the use of technology and recognition of approved examination accommodations such as extra time.
