We acknowledge the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the students’ learning as well as their wellbeing. Although COVID-19 measures are no longer in place, our curriculum continues to reflect the gaps in knowledge which may exist for some students as a result of the closures and disruption to normal ways of working.
Based in part on the principles of Barry Carpenter’s Recovery Curriculum (2020), as well as integrating the teaching and learning strategies adopted by the academy prior to lockdown, the curriculum heavily emphasises modular learning and retrieval of knowledge. Since the reopening of the Academy, the emphasis has been on adapting original pre-COVID curriculum plans to revisit and reinforce learning where it may not have been secure.
As a result all subjects revised the curriculum offer for the academic year 2020-21 and have continued this process into the current academic year.
On this Recovery Curriculum page you can access the final term curriculum outlines for 2021-22 and plans for the full curriculum for 2022-23 onwards can be found under the Curriculum tab.
