Curriculum at the CE Academy

Each young person attending CE Academy has an individual timetable designed to meet their needs.  This includes an appropriate balance of academic and practical/vocational subjects.

All Key Stage 3 young people will follow the Ruth Miskin Literacy programme and all are involved in a social skills/team building programme designed to improve their interpersonal skills.

At Key Stage 4 young people are able to take GCSEs in up to eight subjects. The CE Academy will also support young people wanting to complete GCSE studies begun in mainstream school.

There are also opportunities to achieve qualifications in a range of vocational areas, for example:  hair and beauty, building trades, land management and animal care.
