Burford School - Means of Separation

Means of Separation

The students are separated in a general English School System way. Each "Year Group" is divided into 8 or so "Form Groups". These Form Groups have around 30 pupils. The Form Groups will have a Form Tutor, who will register and look after the pupils. The Head Of Year deals with issues between interlinking Form Groups, and as a general looks after the Pupils. The Form Groups have various lessons together, whilst spending some apart based on ability. Subjects such as English, Religious Education and Geography are spent together until Year 10. Homework timetables have been set for the students to base their time and effort on in hope more students will apply their knowledge not only at school but at home too. http://www.burford.oxon.sch.uk/Mainfolder/HomeworkTimetable2012-13Years7-11.pdf

Famous quotes containing the words means of, means and/or separation:

    Science, unguided by a higher abstract principle, freely hands over its secrets to a vastly developed and commercially inspired technology, and the latter, even less restrained by a supreme culture saving principle, with the means of science creates all the instruments of power demanded from it by the organization of Might.
    Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    To say that a man is your Friend, means commonly no more than this, that he is not your enemy. Most contemplate only what would be the accidental and trifling advantages of Friendship, as that the Friend can assist in time of need by his substance, or his influence, or his counsel.... Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    ... the separation of church and state means separation—absolute and eternal—or it means nothing.
    Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
