School and Class Organisation

Class organisation

Children at Twineham School are grouped co-educationally according to age on a mixed ability basis. As in many small schools, our classes are sometimes a mixture of year groups. Currently YR is taught on it's own, as a small single year group class; Y1 and Y2, Y3 and Y4, and lastly Y5 and Y6 are taught in 2 year groups in one class. Teachers use a variety of teaching strategies and techniques including whole class, group or individual teaching as and when appropriate. We are fortunate that our class sizes are usually small.

 

Network of Eastern Area Rural Schools (Nears)

Twineham is an active member of the Network of Eastern Area Rural Schools (NEARS). This is a lively and successful group of co-operating rural schools based in this area of Sussex who share similar educational aims and philosophy. Throughout the year, the group organises a variety of academic, musical and sporting activities, which give children opportunities to enhance their learning and to work with larger groups of children of the same age. Through NEARS competitions, most of our Key Stage 2 pupils are able to represent the school in Sports Tournaments if they wish to. Professional development for staff is organised as well as governor training.
