Curriculum

The Walsall Academy curriculum is designed as an 11-18 journey with learners developing skills and knowledge in and out of the classroom. The curriculum model is designed to meet the current and future local employment need and be broad and balanced, with core values of character education taught through discreet lessons, weaved into academic learning and co-curricular activities, with a focus on students becoming leaders of their own learning.

Character strands are initially developed in KS3 and include building resilience, digital fluency, teamwork, communication, problem solving, creativity, taking personal responsibility and positive relationships. Exploring healthy lifestyles and career opportunities also feature heavily. All students reflect and review progress through passage presentations at the end of the key stage to help make informed decisions and set targets for the future.
