Our vision is Students First: Raising Standards and Transforming Lives. To achieve this vision, we provide an ambitious first-class educational experience for every child who attends our inclusive academy believing the quality of education a child receives empowers their future choices and life chances.
The Covid-19 pandemic has instigated change in all areas of our lives including our approach to schooling. We have made several significant alterations to our curriculum so that the experience we provide our students best meets these changing needs. New practicalities are required by all schools to support our national approach to managing education through the pandemic. We have therefore made adjustments to our curriculum. These adjustments are clearly noted on our curriculum website pages and may be subject to review over time as DFE guidance changes.

In light of the Covid-19 pandemic we have adjusted our curriculum model and rationale to meet the changing needs of our students. We have looked carefully at when students are given the opportunity to select their guided pathways and have chosen to move this from Year 8 into Year 9 to compensate for the missed learning Year 8 students have experienced through school closure. We have reviewed courses that were due to certify in Year 10 2021 and have reviewed our Year 9 guided pathways and the need for recovery and preparation to account for missed learning. Graphics for our new models and the changes for each year group moving forward will be added to our website across September.
