At St. Francis School, Jorethang, a variety of teaching-learning methodologies, are used to give students a holistic education making them independent, life-long learners and above all responsible citizens of the globe. Equal attention is given to the development of the body, mind and spirit. Consequently, teachers provide students with the individual attention necessary to help them achieve their goals. Critical judgment is encouraged so that students can discuss topics with coherent arguments supported by evidence. Moreover, teachers know, motivate and understand their pupils and have a deep knowledge of the subject. Records of progress are shared periodically with parents. An extensive academic programme is planned and reviewed periodically ensuring that all classes achieve consistently high results. Classes are interactive and students learn in very stimulating and motivating ways.
We are dedicated to ensuring all pupils, whatever their learning needs, are supported throughout their time at SFS to achieve their learning potential. Our aim is for pupils to develop the skills and strategies necessary to become successful, lifelong, independent and confident learners.
Through specialist and bespoke intervention, pupils gain a clear understanding of their particular needs and develop strategies to overcome their specific learning difficulties, gain confidence in their own learning, fulfil academic potential and acquire study skills that will equip them for life at university and beyond. Guided by the learning support department, Eton takes a whole school approach to identifying and supporting pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and those seeking advice or support to further their studies.
Support comes in many bespoke forms and is in place to help pupils confidently overcome current and future potential challenges. Pupils may receive one-to-one lessons focusing on areas such as executive functioning skills, revision and learning strategies, and handwriting development which will enable them to work successfully across subject areas. Group lessons are also provided focusing on areas such as study skills, exam techniques and effective reading strategies. The department also provides training, support and information to the wider staff body with regards to how they can differentiate and develop the educational experiences of the pupils they work with or teach.
