Things to note
SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS
At Kings Norton Girls’ School each student’s current skills and levels of attainment are assessed on entry through reading, comprehension and spelling tests, Midyis and PASS data. hey use this information, with any other information from previous schools, to decide whether students require Special Educational Needs or Disability (SEND) support. Through regular assessment we are able to identify students who are making less than expected progress for their age and individual circumstances.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR
At KNGS they believe that extracurricular activities and visits are a vitally important part of opening the world of opportunities for the students of all ages. They aim to recognise and support talents and interests but also offer simple fun and enjoyment too. They offer a range of activities and opportunities in order to engage each and every student. The full and varied extracurricular timetable changes each year but has included many different sports, arts, Eurovision, debating, crafts, social action, charity events, subject ambassadors and subject visits and subject support. Through these clubs and activities students develop confidence, personal responsibility and care for others, creativity and curiosity for the world around, along with the interests which support wellbeing in life.
