Our Vision.

We want students to be able to know about events of the past, in order to understand their present and therefore allow students to have informed opinions of the world around them. 
History
To deliver an inspiring and engaging curriculum, in order for pupils to understand the world around them, as Geography is their inheritance of all that we have learnt about the wonders of the world. The learning will promote knowledge and understanding, so students can make evidence based, informed decisions, in our ever-changing world. Geography at FLHS helps young people to understand their role and place in this world, playing their part in leaving the planet a better place than they found it.
Geography
We aim to provide a curriculum which engages, inspires and motivates students. Students should leave school with the ability to understand the world around them and the multi-cultural society which exists in Britain. They should have an understanding of different religions and their beliefs, practises and cultures. We aim to challenge stereotypes, discrimination and religious and racial hatred. We also aim to promote critical thinking and moral reasoning on ethical issues.
Religious Studies
The aim of the Sociology Department is to encourage students to explore aspects of the social world around them through fresh eyes. In developing their skills of critical thinking, they will begin to question what shapes society and how society influences individuals and groups. Through discussion and debate, they will be able to recognise that different social groups can have very different experiences of society, and that there are many factors which contribute to these differences. Students will be able to explain, compare and criticise the different key perspectives of Sociology and apply these to the modern world they find themselves living in today.

How Yondr Works

Frequently Asked Questions

We want our students to be engaged in their learning. A child at high school should not really have a reason to contact a parent during the day; however, if there is a genuine reason e.g. they have forgotten their packed lunch, a phone call can be made home from the school office. If a parent needs to contact their child in an emergency, they should contact the school office. If you need to contact your child during the school day, contact the main office on 01942 883796.

In case of a school emergency, we direct our students to safety first, following our school emergency procedures.

 

Students are in possession of their phone - in their Yondr pouch - for the entire school day. We will advise students to store the pouch safely in their school bag or blazer pockets.

If a student damages their Pouch or is caught on their phone, we will confiscate the phone and issue a sanction which is likely to be a suspension.

Note: Damage consists of any signs that the physical integrity of the pouch has been compromised, whether intentional or unintentional, as determined by the school or Yondr staff.

Damaged pouches will be charged to parents at a cost of £20.

They will be searched and wanded with a handheld scanner by a member of SLT. If they are found to have their phone on their person they will be expected to place it in their pouch. Refusal will be met with suspension.

If a student forgets their Pouch, their phone will be confiscated.

As per our previous mobile phone policy;

  • Confiscated phones will be taken to reception where the phone will be secured in the school safe.
  • Parents will be alerted to the phone confiscation via the school office.

Parents will have the option to collect the phone at the end of the day. If parents do not collect the phone, the phone will remain in school until the end of the week or until the student has their pouch.

In Yondr’s experience, this almost never happens. All students funnel past the unlocking stations at the exits, they want their phones back and don’t forget to unlock their pouches. If they do arrive home with a phone in a pouch, they can either come back to school to unlock it, or have a phone free evening!

The unlocking process is quick and takes under a second per student. 

As a privilege, Year 11 will be able to unlock their phones as they go off site at lunchtime; however, they will be expected to put their phones back into their pouches when they return to school for period 5.

Yes. There is an adapted version of the pouch which uses a Velcro fastener instead of a magnetic lock. This means the student still follows the policy, but the adapted pouch gives them easy access to their phone when required. If the student abuses this, they will face a sanction. We are already aware of these students.
