The Sixth Form at Malton - Prospectus

TEACHING &
IPAD FOR
LEARNING
The most important aspect in choosing a sixth form is the quality of the
teaching. At Malton we have a highly experienced team of A level, BTEC
and CTEC teachers who know their subject specialisms and courses and
know what has to be done to maximise success. Their depth of subject
knowledge combined with the love of their specialism often rubs off on
students and inspires their desire to learn more. The staff benefit from a
continuous cycle of training on a variety of different teaching and learning
strategies. This ensures forward looking approaches are mixed with our
traditional ethos to secure the best provision for you.
The iPad for Learning Scheme is an integral part of our teaching and learning offer. Our staff
team expertly plan for iPad use in lessons to support learning, improve your progress and to allow
greater collaboration with other students.
Our vision is that digital skills are integrated into every subject area. The use of tablet devices
means that as a forward-looking school we can offer more personalized learning and lessons are
kept relevant and engaging for you as well as equipping you with the required skills and digital
literacy for the future.
The scheme came into its own when we moved into remote learning during
the Covid-19 pandemic. Students were able to continue with a full timetable
of lessons from day one and keep in contact with subject teachers.
Nine years after launching, and with five years of running the 1:1 scheme throughout all year
groups, Malton School is delighted that it has been recognised as an Apple Distinguished School
for the next 3 years, 2021-2024. Apple Distinguished Schools are centres of innovation, leadership
and educational excellence. They use Apple technology to connect students to the world, fuel
creativity, deepen collaboration, and make learning personal. The recognition for Malton comes
for the way the School has used iPad devices to innovate teaching and learning practice across
the curriculum.
