Phase 2

The Phase 2 department in Talbot School supports the year groups 9 to 11 with the age range of students being 13 to 16 years.

Students are currently classed by ability with classes varying in size from, roughly, 6 students to 12 students. Each class has 1 teacher and 2-3 support staff dependent on the size and needs of the groups.

As with Phase 1, classes within the department follow a curriculum that is guided by the learning Pathway that is appropriate to the ability of the group.

Below are some of the lessons that students will experience when they move into Phase 2.
