About George Pindar School

George Pindar School is situated on the south-side of the seaside town of Scarborough, surrounded by the Yorkshire Wolds and Moors.
Curriculum:
We have a curriculum for success, which supports our students on one of three learning pathways. Each pathway is designed to provide stretch and challenge as well as support where it is needed. For example, our middle pathway allows students to follow a balanced curriculum of GCSEs with some high value vocational qualifications, but has additional literacy and numeracy support built in.
As a result, our students are enthusiastic, respond well to staff and are increasingly successful.
Learning:
Learning is central to all we do and we expect all our students to progress well as a result of effective and engaging teaching. A key aspect of any Head of Faculty’s role is working with their colleagues to ensure that learning in their area is as good as it can be.
CPD:
We believe it is essential to invest in the development of staff. While we offer the opportunity to participate in specialist external CPD, we are increasingly focused on sharing best practice within school via our Teaching and Learning Group and our Coaching initiative. We believe this is the key to ensuring everyone plays a part in the school’s success and development.
