CALL

Creative and Literacy Learning (CALL) is a specially constructed cross-curricular subject taught exclusively to all Year 7 learners. The subject aims to develop pupils as creative thinkers, independent learners and effective participators. It develops the speaking and listening skills of learners through a range of strategies and aims to promote the enjoyment and benefit of reading for a range of purposes. CALL offers pupils of all abilities the opportunity to write for a range of purposes and audiences and to build a deeper engagement with active learning.

The curriculum model draws on skills typically utilised in successful deeper learning across all subject areas and challenges learners to develop them to unprecedented levels. It promotes a sophisticated intellectual curiosity for contemporary and historic global issues and encourages the acquisition of further cultural capital within the locality, regionally and nationally.
