Art and Design
The Art and Design curriculum has been planned to introduce key skills and techniques in Year 7 and then expand and secure these skills into Year 8.
Year 8 lessons are planned to mirror the structure of GCSE assessment objectives to give students an experience of the Level 2 course before they choose their Options. The themes set make wide connections with art of other times and places and have an emphasis on ‘awe and wonder’.

Students will study a variety of world issues for example the significance of the media and how it plays an important role in how we see the world and how they see us.
Additionally, Religious Studies is not about making students ‘religious’, it is about enabling students to think for themselves about moral and religious issues in society.

English
We are passionate about helping all students to achieve their full potential. We believe in teaching all students the skills they require to become effective communicators; encouraging the development of their imaginations, and of competence in reading, writing and speaking and listening. Learning the different ways of communicating empowers our students, not only to achieve the specific qualifications they need to pursue their ambitions for the future, but also to prepare them for the kinds of communication they will discover as adults at college, university, in the workplace and in life.

History
The History Department strides to embrace the education revolution by pioneering innovation to engage and inspire new age learners. We believe history is one of the most important subjects in the curriculum because it inspires and develops young minds to be free thinking and critical.
The History Department encourages learners to be independent, creative, reflective, team players, self-managers and become effective participators. To achieve these goals the department provides opportunities to study local, national, European and world history through different enquiries.
To challenge learners, the department provides opportunities to communicate ideas and conclusions about past peoples and societies. Learners will be expected to communicate their historical findings through different forms of assessment which include making movies and podcasts, writing essays and giving presentations.
Learners will also get the opportunity to explore and evaluate different evidence from the past. This will include artefacts, pictures, movies and written documents. The Luton Museum is invited to contribute to the learning environment of learners throughout the curriculum to provide a definitive learning experience to students.
We hope that through our endeavour to provide a rich and challenging curriculum and our enthusiasm for the subject learners will become free critical thinkers who will take their learning experience with them through life and become positive participators in society.

Languages
Through languages we aim to offer insights into other cultures and create an awareness, tolerance and understanding of others’ experiences while developing practical communication skills.
We aim to introduce the five skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation). We also aim to develop a clear understanding within our students about how they can continue to develop as linguists and what they need to do to ensure that they make the necessary progress.
In Year 7, students are allocated French or Spanish. This is usually based on which form group they are in but the department tries, where possible, to meet with Heads of Year to discuss if students have older siblings in the school or who have now left and which language they studied.

This is a strong, vibrant, exciting subject area which aims to develop in students the skills of creativity, performance, communication and discipline within drama, dance/drama and music. The department seeks to develop within students a passion for the Performing Arts and to nurture a love for the stage, and excellence within performance, in general.
Students are given the opportunity to perform regularly to a ‘live’ audience, thereby developing communication skills.
The department is staffed by a team of three dedicated professionals, who have a passion for their subject, which in turn cascades to the students, which is evident in their learning and extra-curricular activities.

Technology
'Design & Technology is about making things that people want, or think they want, that work well. Creating these things is hugely exciting. It is an inventive fun activity.' ~ James Dyson
At Lealands we value the importance of preparing students to actively participate in a rapidly changing technological world. They learn to think and intervene creatively to improve quality of life. The subject calls for pupils to become autonomous and creative problem solvers, both as individuals and members of a team. Students must look for needs, wants and opportunities, and respond to them by developing a range of ideas and making products, systems and solutions.
They combine practical skills with an understanding of aesthetics, social and environmental issues, function and industrial practices. As they do so, they reflect on and evaluate present and past design and technology, its uses and effects.
Technology is a practical subject taught in the Workshop, ICT and Design Suite or Food Technology room. Teaching involves:
- practical demonstrations and use of technical equipment
- class discussions, brainstorming and research
- working individually and in small groups
- using case studies, surveys and guest speakers
- self evaluation
- The use of computers is embedded across the subject, whether it be for design, manufacture of products, research, display or assessment purposes.
