We provide a balanced and broad curriculum to prepare our pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life.
Curriculum Vision Statement
WAVE aims to deliver an inclusive, high-quality curriculum across all its academies which is underpinned by our core values: be positive, show empathy, have respect, work as one team and be inclusive.
Each of our academies is unique, however we have developed a core curriculum offer, which is:
- Ambitious and aspirational. Carefully and coherently planned and sequenced over time. This includes accessing future learning, training or employment.
- Prepares our pupils for life in modern society, showing an appreciation of Fundamental British Values as well International Awareness.
- Broad, balanced and full, accessing academic and vocational learning across a range of National Curriculum subjects at Key Stages 1-4 and personalised so all learners are supported in achieving their true potential.
- Enhanced by a rich programme of out of class learning experiences.
- Delivered in an inclusive, caring, nurturing environment in which all learners feel valued and safe.
- Gives consideration to the labour market in the South West. Preparing our pupils for the local workforce and beyond.
WAVE academies deliver this core curriculum offer through a four-part model, based on the recognition that every experience from which our pupils learn in school, can be seen as part of the school curriculum.
