| While
the foundation of learning in Locksley Christian School
is the ACE programme, other activities build upon and complement
the core curriculum studied in the Learning Centre.
During
the course of the morning, students leave the Learning Centre
for I.T. lessons, tutorials, music tuition on individual instruments,
and mini-classes - depending on each child's need.
Their
afternoons are spent on Practical Science, Creative English,
Literature, History, Art, Music, Devotions, Drama, Dance, and
Physical Education. Some of these activities become options
at 14+ as the students focus on their ICCE accreditation.
Field
trips and outings give students a wider understanding of their
heritage and the world in which they live. Each year group has
at least one outing per term.
An
important event in the school year for many of the students
is the European Student Convention based in Shropshire. This
is a week of competition and interaction with students from
other schools using the same Christian curriculum as Locksley
Christian School. Throughout the year students plan and prepare
events in various categories including academics, art, drama,
music, and sport. The culmination of all this hard work is the
week long convention held in July. As well as experiencing good
competition in a friendly environment, students
make new friends and are encouraged by inspirational speakers.
In
the last three years, students from Locksley who excelled in
the European competition have attended the International Student
Convention in America with over two thousand ACE students from
around the world. In 2004 at Flagstaff, Arizona, Locksley Christian
School achieved particular success, receiving the award for
the top school in the music category.
