Curriculum Intent

The curriculum is planned to ensure that all students regardless of ability or background leave Alleyne’s Academy with a preparedness and readiness to take advantage of the opportunities, promote academic growth and social mobility.

The curriculum for Y9-11 is planned sequentially to ensure that knowledge and skills are taught in such a way that will enable learners to be qualified and equipped to make appropriate decisions and choices about their next steps. Our aim is to provide challenges and successes for all, by offering differentiated and diverse opportunities.

Curriculum Implementation

Senior and middle leaders ensure that the planning of the curriculum promotes the implementation of high-quality teaching and learning. Teachers are involved in the planning of the curriculum and delivering key knowledge, understanding, and concepts in such a way that enables deep learning rather than just learning to the test.

The curriculum is planned to develop positive attitudes as well as subject-specific and broader skills. Learning is sequenced across Y9-11 and Y12-13 to embed knowledge fluently, while also presenting increased levels of challenge and skill development.
