Our curricula are bespoke to individual academies, but are underpinned by key, consistent features defined as a trust:

• pupils are introduced to the best that has been thought and said as their entitlement, which creates a foundation for widening horizons and opportunities to think bigger to build the skills to achieve the very best they can.
• pupils are given the opportunity to explore and develop their curiosity, an appreciation of human creativity and achievement and to develop a life-long love of learning
• pupils are prepared to accept nuance and consider, critically, and compassionately the information they consume
• our pupils develop their knowledge and skills through deliberate practice and application in a variety of contexts
• our teachers use their expertise to communicate knowledge, induct pupils into subject disciplines and to facilitate pupils’ own discovery and interests
• our staff work together to implement and draw upon ambitious, intelligent, cross-curricular and cross-phase links
• our curricula celebrate the diverse backgrounds of the pupils in our care and the community we serve, and incorporate a strong anti-racist and inclusive perspective. Pressing current issues such as climate change, are addressed through responsive implementation.
