Curriculum implementation:

As an Academy we have a range of clear standards and expectations of our pupils however each subject area has its own individual practices and habits that ensure that it can function to its optimum.

• Curriculum delivery:

Non calculator and calculator topics are taught alongside each other in the classroom. 

All pupils from year 7 are expected to have a scientific calculator with them in every lesson. We recommend a Casio scientific calculator rather than an own brand calculator as they have better functionality allowing pupils to work more efficiently.
