Tendring Technology College

Back

Working with the PTI to agree a focus for further departmental development allowed us to arrange a ‘medieval’ themed day. This linked with our new thematic scheme of work for Year 7 and gave us an opportunity to build cross-curricular links across the College. For example, in addition to the re-enactment group that came in for the day, students also worked with illuminated manuscripts in their art lesson and ate medieval style food in the canteen at lunchtime.

It also allowed us to build on our Ofsted targets, which were to involve parents more closely in students' learning, as we invited them to come into college for the day and enjoy the medieval experience.

Tendring Technology College is a secondary School in Tendring District, Essex, split across two sites - Frinton-on-Sea and Thorpe-le-Soken.  It is a mixed, non-denominational school for young people aged from 11-18.
