Curriculum
The Academy operates a non-standard curriculum at Key Stage 3. Students are taught for 17 hours with the same teacher in Year 7, 13 hours in Year 8, and 8 hours in Year 9. These groups are taught based on the Literacy for Life (L4L) curriculum taught in a number of thematic units. This methodology is based on the [3] Re-inventing Schools Coalition (RISC) work pioneered in Alaska.
