    Over the course of the week, students study an extensive form time programme for 40 minutes each day.

    Assembly - bringing together the year group for a collective assembly covering a multitude of themes, including: rewards assemblies, external inspirational speakers or college inputs, students receive valuable inputs covering school and wider life.

    Standards & Culture - focusing on what is means to be a successful Rastrick High School student. This includes activities for students reflecting on their Engagement in school, Enrichment and Attendance.

    Read Aloud - one aspect of our literacy strategy in school where students have dedicated reading time to enjoy a wide range of fictional and non-fictional books.

    Worldy Wise - a dedicated form time session created by dedicated Rastrick staff on current affairs, key events regionally, nationally and worldwide, aimed at broadening students' horizons and their knowledge of the world.

    PSHCE - our statutory programme of study is taught weekly with further details available to view in the Personal Development section of our website.
