The curriculum

The Academy has a curriculum which is for the 21st century: adaptable; challenging and inspiring.  We believe that all children should leave with a firm foundation in the key areas of English and Mathematics. Our curriculum is designed to ensure that every student acquires the high levels of numeracy and literacy needed to take on a full range of other subjects with confidence.

The curriculum is innovative, creative and challenging, with varied learning styles, to maximise engagement and relevance to the learner.  There is a specific focus on communication skills – speaking and listening, presentation and interview skills, digital communication, modern foreign languages, drama and art.

We believe these skills will be in high demand in the workplace of the future.  In addition every child learns to cook and takes part in lessons which emphasise personal and social skills.  We also offer health and fitness programmes for all students and these are built into daily routines, to ensure that every student develops and maintains the energy levels required to be successful at school.
