We abide by the National Curriculum which follows a set of standards and ensures that all students study a wide range of subjects through a broad, balanced and inspiring curriculum.
At Thistley Hough Academy our curriculum is rigorous and knowledge led. As such, we build our curriculum on the key knowledge that students need in order to master subject content. We do this by identifying the knowledge and skills that students are required to master in order to be successful at GCSE and track these back across the 5 years that students are with us.
In doing this we prioritise depth of subject knowledge, enabling students to gain a broad understanding of each subject area. All pupils secure firm foundations in English and Mathematics and this underpins excellence in other subject disciplines.
Personal, Social and Moral Education including citizenship is a strong theme across our curriculum. Students learn about and discuss concepts such as health, relationships, sex, life skills and their place in society.
Regular assessments and interventions are structured to ensure that pupils are supported to build upon their strengths and overcome their challenges.
