Our Curriculum Aims

All staff at Waterside Academy are committed to providing a high quality, ambitious, and fully inclusive curriculum that enhances the life and prospects of every student. We are passionate about providing opportunities (both inside and outside the classroom) that help to enrich and support students academically, culturally, morally, and socially.

Our curriculum aims to engage, inspire, and challenge all learners. It builds on two layers. Firstly, a set of overarching principles that describe features important to curriculum in all subjects. Secondly, each and every subject is different, so subject-specific guiding principles reflect the unique nature of subjects.

We aim to provide opportunities for all students to fulfil their potential, setting ambitious goals and developing their capacity to be successful life-long learners, as well as building their cultural capital through a breadth of dynamic curricular, cross-curricular, and extracurricular opportunities.

At Waterside Academy, every child matters. We pride ourselves on the provision of personalised learning to support every student. Therefore, we provide a variety of curriculum pathways to suit their abilities and needs wherever possible.
