Students will be taught in mixed-attainment classes for their Core lessons. These follow the English Baccalaureate suite of subjects – English, mathematics, science, modern foreign languages, geography and history. Outside of the Core subjects students follow a carousel of teaching in the Horizon or Innov8 curriculum. This broad and balanced curriculum focuses on developing knowledge and skills in computing, business, design, religious studies, PSHE, art, dance, drama and music.
We use strategies within the curriculum and beyond to ensure these values are communicated and acted upon. At the Academy our spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) education permeates through the curriculum, supports the development of the ‘whole child’ and includes the teaching and development of British Values.
The Academy seeks to continuously review and evaluate its work by gaining external accreditation. The successful completion of the awards listed below demonstrates that SMSC and British Values are incorporated into the daily life of the Academy: Discovering Democracy Award for promoting youth participation and democracy in schools; Duke of Edinburgh Award; Army Cadet Force; Sandwell Shape Awards.
Our Wednesday afternoon offer of either physical education or enrichment ensures all students take an active part in developing skills and talents they may not know existed before.
