It aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, caring and compassionate young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. Stationers’ Crown Woods Academy staff are excited to be working with Academies within LAT to ensure that we continue to deliver challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment, whilst holistically addressing students intellectual, social, emotional and physical wellbeing. The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP) comprises eight subject groups: Language Acquisition Language and Literature Individual and Societies Sciences Mathematics Arts Physical and health education Design STATIONERS' CROWN WOODS ACADEMY MYP ORGANISATION CHART What does my IB MYP Assessment Grade mean? For each subject group there will be an achievement level breakdown for each of the 4 criteria (A,B,C,D). Achievement levels across the four criteria are added together creating a total number out of 32. Using the table below, this is converted into an MYP Grade from 1-7 with 7 being the highest. During the course of the academic year students will be awarded an MYP Interim Grade. At the end of the year an MYP Final Grade will be awarded based on the summative assessments that have taken place during the course of the year.

All pupils have opportunities in classroom lessons to learn performance, theory and listening, composing, ensemble skills and music from around the world. In addition to this, individual lessons can be accessed by all pupils, which are heavily subsidised by the Academy. Students are able to choose from a wide variety of instruments, and are encouraged to learn the styles of music they enjoy. This is provided by our excellent team of practicing musicians. Music offers a range of extra-curricular opportunities which are not only for the whole Academy but cater to the needs of each of the small schools. From small ensembles and orchestra for our more experienced musicians to our inclusive clubs for guitar, African drumming and a chance to build on keyboard skills learnt in the classroom. Our Rock ‘n’ pop choir has more than 50 members. Our prestigious gospel choir regularly performs at high profile events including a performance in New York in 2012. The Music Department has superb studio facilities located in the Symphony building and music technology workshops are offered at each key stage. In addition to sound proofed teaching rooms there are nine practice rooms, a small ensemble room, a computer suite and a recording control room. These are exceptional resources for students across the entire Academy, including of course those studying music GCSE and post 16 pupils studying BTEC Music. Students have the opportunity to perform at both formal and informal events, ranging from music assemblies to our music concerts which are held at Christmas and at the end of the Summer Term. Art The Art Department is on the top floor of the William Morris Building and is spread over 3 large purpose built rooms. There is also access to the dark room, photography studio and a computer suite.
