Curriculum overview

We have a vision for a curriculum with social equality and opportunity at its heart; ensuring that students develop an astute awareness of themselves, their peers and their place in the world.

‍We deliver an excellent education every day through:

‍All students will be met with intensity and rigour in every aspect of their school life and, with no time to waste in the lives of our students, there will be no wasted minutes in the classroom. Teachers will craft intellectually demanding sequences of lessons that meet students with high expectations; sequencing learning for long-term retention and depth of understanding. As a cornerstone of our academy, students will develop a deep, increasingly complex, working knowledge in their chosen areas of study. Students will grow a toolkit necessary to solve in-depth tasks in every subject and, in developing their complexity of thought, they will understand the ability to make links as the foundation of intellect. Students will acknowledge a focus on the progress they are making in terms of knowing more, remembering more and being able to do more.

Ensuring students acquire substantive, disciplinary and hinterland knowledge and remember more with extended deliberate practice that is well planned, so that they can learn more complex content and apply the skills and understanding they have gained
Enabling all students to become confident and resilient while also developing their creativity and talents to the full
A rich learning experience is enhanced through the creative delivery of literacy, oracy, numeracy, and cultural enrichment. All students develop a rich cultural capital in all areas of the curriculum, and are strengthened by exposure to wide reading opportunities which are embedded in the curriculum
Respect is one of the core values of our Academy. Students are helped to know and understand that it is expected that a culture where mutual respect, courtesy, tolerance and diversity are without question embraced in all aspects of the curriculum.
