Back

At Excelsior Academy we have developed a broad and highly aspirational curriculum for all of our pupils. Our curriculum ensures that all pupils will study a wide range of high-quality subjects that will enhance their life chances and enable them to be successful at school and for the rest of their lives.

Our curriculum is devised to:

  • Support and challenge pupils to achieve the qualifications that they need in order to compete and thrive in their future lives.
  • Raise aspirations.
  • Develop the wider skills and personal qualities that are vital alongside academic qualifications.
  • Build and secure self-confidence underpinned by rich experiences so that Excelsior pupils will believe that they can compete and succeed when in competition with students from different backgrounds.
  • Excelsior Academy’s curriculum has been carefully devised as a seamless educational journey which spans and fulfils pupils throughout their time here.

We focus on progressively building the knowledge, skills and personal qualities that pupils require throughout their time at the school.

Subject Leaders are supported to undertake a comprehensive and ongoing review of their curriculum in each academic year and this ensures that the depth of learning and rate of progression is maximised.
