Lessons
There are many lessons at the school such as Welsh, Spanish, Mathematics, History, Geography, Science, PE, ICT, Cooking, Sewing, Wood Work, Electronics, Religious Education, Art, Drama, Music, Media, English, French, Business, Sociology, Love Child Care and Customer Services. The most successful class however was how to retrieve a shopping trolley from a river, or the much enjoyed defence against the dark arse. Not all of these are taught to Year 7 to 9, as they became too dangerous so only Year 10+ may take the subjects as GCSE/NVQ.

Famous quotes containing the word lessons:
“In the years of the Roman Republic, before the Christian era, Roman education was meant to produce those character traits that would make the ideal family man. Children were taught primarily to be good to their families. To revere gods, one’s parents, and the laws of the state were the primary lessons for Roman boys. Cicero described the goal of their child rearing as “self- control, combined with dutiful affection to parents, and kindliness to kindred.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The lessons taught in great books are misleading. The commerce in life is rarely so simple and never so just.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
