Pupils follow a broad & balanced curriculum with its roots in basic literacy and numeracy. With good skills in these areas, pupils will have the best chance of a positive post-16 outcome. Therefore, the core skills found in English and Maths run throughout all subject areas.
High quality teaching will enable pupils to make the best progress, including more rapid progress where gaps in learning are evident. Both qualified teachers and unqualified teachers providing specialist knowledge and experience deliver high quality lessons, supported by a vigorous quality assurance programme ensuring standards are maintained across the academy.
