Woven through subject curricula across the academy and specifically through Religious Studies lessons, morning tutor sessions as well as Life and Society lessons at KS4, which covers religious studies and key themes such as British Values, SMSC (Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural) development, Health and Wellbeing (including Relationships and Sex Education), protected characteristics, citizenship, PSHE, and careers (Gatsby Benchmarks). These themes are further supported through Wellbeing Wednesdays, which provide regular opportunities for discussion and reflection and can also be adapted to respond to current issues or pupil need.  

Developed through assemblies, themed weeks, Personal Development Days, Future Fridays, special events and contributions from guest speakers that promote reflection, celebrate diversity and strengthen pupils’ understanding of the wider world.

Learning continues outside the classroom through extra-curricular clubs, leadership opportunities, trips, visits and fundraising opportunities. Pupils are encouraged to explore new interests, develop their talents, and take responsibility within the academy and the wider community. Our cultural offer includes visits to theatres, galleries, museums and other experiences that build awareness, confidence and cultural capital.
