Curriculum Overview

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

Waterside Academy is all about achieving. Our curriculum is designed to provide all students with the opportunity to make progress and attain their very best. Our School curriculum has a traditional framework, with a particular emphasis on preparing for success in the twenty-first century.

Students experience a balance of the traditional core subjects of English, Maths and Science alongside a range of other subjects. We are always looking at innovative ways of enabling our students to secure their very best achievement.

All students follow the National Curriculum and all are expected to take GCSEs in those subjects as well as a wide choice of optional courses.

So through our curriculum, we seek to create a balance, but we do not accept that there are any areas of study that are unsuitable for our students from artist to politician; engineer to zoologist, all students are encouraged to achieve to their highest potential. This is borne out in our achievement. These show the progress our students make from year 7 to year 11 and beyond is of a good standard.
