Q3 Academy Langley Curriculum Intent

Q3 Academy Langley offers a broad and balanced curriculum underpinned by a Christian ethos, to ensure students can ‘live life to the full and seek for that which is good, that which is right and that which is true.’

Our Core Principles:

The Curriculum serves the needs of the diverse, multi-cultural local community;
Ensures all students have an ambitious, challenging and knowledge-rich curriculum so students learn more, know more and do more;
The EBacc subjects are at the heart of the curriculum with the aim for 90% of students supported in studying the full range of EBacc subjects in KS4;
Offer a wide range of non-Ebacc subjects and enrichment opportunities to ensure students develop a broad range of skills, knowledge and cultural capital;
The PSHE and RSE curriculum promote fundamental British Values and support students in living healthy, happy lives;
Ensure that all students have full access to the curriculum to ensure no child is left behind including those with SEND;
Have clearly defined curriculum end points to assess student progress;
Prioritise opportunities to develop literacy and numeracy across the curriculum;
Supports young people to become responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society;
Develops Character and moral virtue.

Key Stage 3

All students study English, Maths, Science, Geography, History, Computing, Design Technology, MFL, Art, Drama, Religious Studies, Physical Education and Music;
Each year, students have a collapsed timetable week called Ethos Week: external providers support with the delivery of PSHE and RSE, as well as the delivery of a wide range of enriching activities being offered;
Year 7 and 8 students have timetabled Enrichment sessions each week to develop Cultural Capital and broaden their experiences, reflecting the context of the local area;
In Year 9, students study Citizenship and have the option of completing GCSE Citizenship in the summer term;
