Curriculum Intent

The core vision of Brompton Academy, which constitute its curricular goals, are to:

Create a strong sense of purpose and direction for students, helping provide internal motivation required to achieve highly
Offer student leadership skills and opportunities to develop these, contributing to developing confidence and aspiration
Creating a strong sense of belonging and identity

The curriculum at Brompton Academy provides our students with a sense of purpose by offering a clearly sequenced curriculum that ensures appropriate challenge over time. Teachers, who have a passion for their subjects, ensure learning is engaging and driven by success with equal measures of support and challenge. Careers guidance is woven through the curriculum to make sure that students have the internal motivation and aspiration to have a clear sense of purpose.

We aim to create a stimulating educational experience aimed at developing a passion for learning alongside the knowledge, skills and cultural capacity students need to succeed in life. To celebrate success, we always look to showcase the exceptional talents and abilities of our young people, and we believe such opportunities greatly enhance our students’ enjoyment of school.

At Key Stage 3, we have a broad and engaging curriculum that focuses on academic subjects but also provides access to a range of subjects from the creative and Performing Arts to Media Studies and Sport. As students head towards the end of Key Stage 3 the core subjects remain central and prepare for study at Key Stage 4. Opportunities further widen with the study of the English Baccalaureate subjects of History, Geography, and a Modern Foreign Language. The study of Ethics, the Arts, Information Technology and Media Studies provide variety and choice for their next stage.

At Key Stage 4 the curriculum provides appropriate pathways to support student choice, aspiration, and purpose. The curriculum offers a wide range of possible options to maximise potential and achieve future success.

We want our students to be happy and successful in their chosen pathways and to make a positive contribution to the world. Ultimately, through the journey that our curriculum provides students will become leaders, have a clear purpose, and belong to the modern global environment.

The hugely successful University of Kent Academies Trust Sixth Form provides diverse opportunities for students.
