Curriculum Aims

At Everest Community Academy we offer a broad and balanced curriculum which creates: 
  • Successful learners who enjoy learning, make good progress and who thrive in life beyond Everest.
  • Confident individuals who are able to live safe, healthy and fulfilling lives.
  • Responsible citizens who can make a positive contribution to society.
  • A culture and ethos which focuses on our core values; aspire, enrich, belong.
Strategic intent

To develop a curriculum which:

  • Creates an aspirational high achievement culture to enable our students to make ambitious choices at 16.
  • Challenges stereotypes regarding what our students are capable of.
  • Takes into account individual needs and styles.
  • Gives self-confidence and respect and allows everyone to experience success.
  • Improves rates of progress and raises standards of attainment. 
  • Secures the fundamental building blocks of learning in terms of literacy and numeracy.
  • Empowers learners to value education and believe that it is exciting.
  • Allows students to experience a broad curriculum to cater for a wide range of experiences.
  • Establishes strong behaviour for learning principles.
  • Supports the spiritual, cultural and moral development of our students.
Curriculum principles
  • Clear progress over 5 years to meet ambitious targets.
  • There should be depth before breadth.  Maximise learning time in all subjects.
  • Additional time is given to English and mathematics to ensure that students have the essential skills needed for life and to access the full curriculum.
  • Targeted support and additional challenge to ensure all students make at least national rates of progress.
  • Carefully planned activities through tutor time and assemblies to address SMSC and aspirations.
  • PSHE is integral to the rounded pupil and a key feature of the pastoral programme
  • Support induction into secondary school for all Year 7 students.
  • Bespoke pathways for different groups to ensure that they experience as full a range of disciplines throughout their schooling.
  • Learning opportunities outside of the classroom.
