Unit one
Statutory- I attended King James Art Academy from the age of 11 up until 15. It was opened by law. It was not a small school or a large school. On average there were 800-900 students that attended. We had to wear a uniform which consisted of black shoes, black straight leg trousers, a white shirt, black tank top, navy blue tie and a navy blue blazer. Everyone was made to buy the blazers and ties from the school, the blazers costing £23.00 and the ties costing £7.00. We then had to buy everything else from shops of our choice, as long as they met the school requirements. The school provided free bus passes for people who lived within a five mile radius. I lived outside the those guidelines, therefore I had to pay £12.00 a week for the school mini bus to provide me with transport to and from school along with other students who never qualified for a free pass. There were always free school activities available for students, these took place every weekday and varied from drama to trampolining. All of the after school clubs had a small charge of 50p. The maximum amount of people that could attend activities indoors were fifty as the space was limited, however if the activities were to be placed outside, the maximum would go up to eighty. They always had a good idea how many people would be there as they had to inform the activity manager two days before so they knew how many they had to cater for. All equipment/resources were provided for free; textbooks, books etc. We could borrow books from the library as long as we brought them back within 3 weeks. Classroom assistants normally only helped when there were students misbehaving. These same people also supplied 1-1 tuition for children that were behind or struggling with their schoolwork, if they then thought the child needed more help then they would seek further educational support provided free from the school. Parents/carers and families that couldn’t afford to
