Curriculum Policy Statement of Intent

The rationale for the curriculum delivered in the Trust’s Academies is articulated through its Mission Statement and Pledges. Together, these form a statement of intent, defining an ambitious programme of curriculum provision which extends beyond the confines of the classroom and the normal school day. Responsibilities for curriculum implementation are shared between the Trustee Board and the Headteacher and Local Governing Body of each individual Academy. Part Two of the Curriculum Policy deals with those areas of responsibility which are determined at Academy level.

This school is committed to providing the resources needed to meet the SEN of all students and being openly accountable to their parents/guardians, for more details on the inclusive nature of the curriculum refer to the School’s SEN policy.

Please see our Curriculum Policy for full details.

  • Have and be able to use high quality functional skills, including key literacy, numeracy and ICT skills.
