● Both subjects focus on identity, moral growth, and cultural awareness. What is the Character Education Programme at Northgate? The Character Education Programme develops pupils’ core ethical and moral values, helping them become caring, responsible, and contributing citizens. The programme focuses on: • Performance traits: Supporting strong academic and personal performance

• Moral traits: Supporting honest, respectful, and healthy relationships. It uses a variety of educational approaches, including whole-child education, service learning, social-emotional learning, and civic education. Pupils focus on one specific value each month, with the skills needed to practice and apply it taught through weekly Character Education lessons. Does Northgate follow a textbook-based approach?

● Northgate does not follow a strictly book-based approach. Teaching is objective-led and based on research showing that high-quality learning occurs when teachers plan according to clearly defined curriculum outcomes rather than following textbooks page by page.

●Textbooks may be provided in selected subjects as supportive resources, not as prescriptive programmes.

Homework is designed to extend and reinforce learning in a purposeful and manageable way, with an emphasis on quality over quantity:

• FS1–FS2: Supports communication, language development, and home-based learning experiences to establish routines for future structured homework.

• Primary: Reinforces classroom learning and identifies areas needing extra support. Pupils complete tasks independently unless the assignment is research-based or part of a flipped classroom.

• Lower Secondary: Consolidates learning, deepens understanding, and promotes independence, self-discipline, time management, and personal responsibility. 

The main communication platform is Skolera. • Parents can message teachers or school offices directly through the system, and teachers respond within 48 hours. • Urgent matters should be directed to the School Office using the official school phone number. Parents and teachers are not permitted to communicate through personal phone numbers. • If a phone conversation is needed, parents may request a call through Skolera, and the call will be arranged using the school’s official phone lines. Likewise, teachers may contact parents only via the school’s official numbers when necessary. • Parent–Teacher Meetings are held twice a year, allowing parents to meet their child’s teachers to discuss academic progress, behaviour, and overall development. Additional meetings may be scheduled if needed.
