The Art of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson is one of the iGen books studied in Year 10
iGen continues to be a timetabled subject throughout your time at Ryburn, making use of one tutor-time session per week. Through exploring the contemporary novels including ‘The Art of Being Normal’ by Lisa Williamson and ‘An Act of Love’ by Alan Gibbons students cover the PSHCE curriculum by focusing on a range of issues including personal skills and qualities; emotional health and well-being; gender issues and extremism.
iDays are whole school drop down days which aim to build on the PSHCE curriculum. As well as covering the key PSHCE themes we also aim to prepare students for the world of work, providing them with the knowledge, understanding, creativity and confidence to be wealth creators in their future lives.
