I am writing to inform you that there will be a Whole School Curriculum Day on Tuesday 21 May
2024. On this day the normal timetable will be suspended to allow students the opportunity to
explore pastoral topics in depth.
This whole school curriculum day will encompass a variety of different activities focusing on
citizenship and oracy. In the morning, students will engage in a Year 7 Speak Out Competition
where finalists from each class will present the work they have been undertaking as part of their
oracy lessons this academic year. Later in the day, students will explore reasons to support charity
fundraising and develop their own action plans in line with our school ethos of ‘creating positivity’.

PSHCE (Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education) at Tolworth Girls’ School & Sixth Form (TGS) is a stand-alone lesson on a Thursday. We find this structure to lessons allows us to ensure we are not only teaching the students valuable and worthwhile lessons, but also allowing the time to discuss the topics in more depth. Our curriculum intent and maps have been developed and refined throughout the last two years and they are all available on the school website.
