Curriculum
Students at Copley Academy study a diverse curriculum designed to provide a variety of opportunities to students in each year group, expanding their wider knowledge and matched to real world events to prepare them for the future.
Lessons at Copley Academy are 60 minutes in length and we currently have a two-week timetable, with weeks referred to as week A and Week B.
The number of lessons assigned to each subject has been designed for each year group to provide breadth of knowledge of different curriculum areas, across a broad range of subjects, with the opportunity to specialise in 4 options in KS4. The information below gives an indication of what subjects’ students study whilst in the Academy:
A small number of students need further ‘catch up’ intervention focussed on improving their literacy skills and will have additional English and maths instead of studying modern foreign languages.
Please also note that we are currently in the process of reviewing the current curriculum offer. For additional information linked to specific subjects, please contact the Head of Department or the Assistant Principal, Miss Tidbury (jtidbury@copleyacademy.org.uk)
