Phase 1 Curriculum Overview - Year 9

 

At Co-op Academy Leeds we believe that all of our students are entitled to a knowledge rich curriculum that prioritises powerful knowledge:

Without powerful knowledge, students will remain dependent on others who do possess this knowledge. We aim to develop resilient, independent and confident learners and young people and our curriculum choices support this.

Powerful knowledge supports creativity and innovation as it allows and encourages students to think in new and unexpected ways; it promotes a love of learning and encourages students to engage fully in academic life.
 

At Co-op Academy Leeds we focus on:

• Closing gaps, early intervention, and developing the core literacy and numeracy skills for success at each and every level.
• Building confidence, resilience and independence through our curriculum by prioritising and valuing hard work.
• Introducing students to new experiences and powerful knowledge beyond the classroom and outside the academy to broaden their horizons and to prepare them fully for later life.
• Being ambitious for all of our students whilst recognising their individual interests and dreams.
• Curriculum breadth and academic rigour –  “Imparting broad knowledge to all children is the single most effective way to narrow the gap between demographic groups through schooling.”
