Curriculum

Our aim at Stimpson Avenue Academy is to provide a curriculum that:

• is rich and varied;
• promotes enquiry;
• engages and motivates pupils;
• is relevant to all of our learners;
• provides our learners with the skills they will need for the 21^st century.

Our curriculum is underpinned by the statutory National Curriculum. We enhance and adapt this with well-planned opportunities that make up the wider school curriculum. We believe that learning should be exciting and engaging. Our curriculum places areas of learning in a meaningful context for children. Where links exist between subjects, lessons are taught using a cross-curricular and thematic approach. Where this is not appropriate, subjects are taught discretely. The practice and application of basic skills learned in the core curriculum is a driver for the entire curriculum.

A well planned curriculum, delivered by committed staff in an ethos of care and support, enables our pupils to be well rounded, empathetic young people who have a desire to learn and respect for all around them.
