Curriculum by Subject
The academy curriculum has been designed to ensure that it follows some important principles.
It is broad and balanced and meets the requirements of the national curriculum: all of our students will have access to the full range of subjects at both key stages, and to the entitlements outlined in the national curriculum.
It is knowledge-led: we think it is crucial that students learn and remember key knowledge and concepts in each of their different subjects so that they can develop their expertise.
It is rigorous: it is important that our students have a precise and in-depth understanding of all their subjects in order that they can apply their knowledge in a range of contexts.
It is sequenced to help students know and remember more: we have structured our curriculum to enable students to build detailed knowledge of their subjects and to be able to commit it to long-term memory.
It must develop literacy: our curriculum will enable all students to develop a rich vocabulary through systematic teaching; it will encourage a culture of reading widely, and it will ensure all students are able to communicate effectively.
