At NexGen Academy our curriculum can be personalised for each pupil. All pupils will study the ‘Core Curriculum’ subjects, which take up 14 out of 30 lessons each week. Pupils in Years 10, 11, the Creative Curriculum subjects, which take up another 8 lessons a week are also studied. In Years 10 and 11 there are options available for the ‘Creative Curriculum.’ We find that our pupils learn best when we make their learning as creative as possible.

Pupils are able to learn in a safe environment where they can experiment, explore, challenge, take risks and make mistakes. Our ‘Life Curriculum’ is an important part of our offer. For this aspect of our curriculum, all pupils will study the ‘Our World’ and Personal, Social and Emotional Development.’ The other components are modular based and are taught as topics at various stages through the age ranges.

The Life Curriculum can be very flexible, and tailored to individual needs and circumstances. Some will be taught at whole class level, other aspects will be taught in small groups, in pairs or on a 1:1 basis.
