Senior phase

GET (GRADE 8-9)
FET (GRADE 10-12)

At Whitfield Academy, we follow the Curriculum and Assessment Policy (CAPS) of the National Department of Basic Education. We strive to achieve academic excellence and prepare our pupils to perform best in our school, and beyond. The personal development of every pupil is important as we nurture their emotional intelligence in a safe environment. A comprehensive Life Orientation programme is offered in every grade to develop and encourage confident, responsible choices from our pupils.

In the GET phase, we also offer Computer Studies to ensure our pupils remain computer literate and are capable of participating in the world and the 4th industrial revolution.

Our dedicated teachers are committed to educational excellence and attend regular in-service training and seminars. With our growing school, we have an average class size of 30 pupils per class with 2-3 class per grade. In each grade, an experienced senior teacher fulfils the role of Grade Leader. Our Grade Leaders meet with the Academic Phase Head on a weekly basis, ensuring excellent communication, clear goal setting and planning.

Where an individual or small groups require academic or emotional intervention and support, our class teachers are supported by staff from our Education Support Unit and the Department of Education.

We promote independent thinking and problem-solving strategies as we prepare our pupils for lifelong learning. A comprehensive study skills programme is offered in all grades. The curiosity and excitement for learning are continually being stimulated by guest speakers, outings and the usage of whiteboards and projectors in every classroom. The holistic development of every pupil is enriched by our outreach programmes and the various charities supported in each grade.

At Whitfield, we make every effort to recognize, acknowledge and develop the strengths, talents and potential of every pupil. We encourage our pupils to take pride in what they do and to strive to do their best as they prepare for the future.
