Curriculum Intent |
||||||
|
The overall aim of the GREAT lives’ curriculum is to provide pupils with a wide ranging look at life beyond their school experience. We work with both curriculum requirements as set by the government and a plethora of case studies designed to expand the cultural capital of our pupils. The curriculum intent is to help students to engage with lessons, meet the needs of the local community, show understanding and empathy for others and meet our GREAT Values; all in order to succeed in their school careers and beyond.
The KS3 curriculum for years 7 to 9 is currently under review and we are in the process of changing the plans this academic year. As this change is staggered, some students will not be using the new units until Summer term. If parents have any concerns about what their children are studying, please do not hesitate to contact Mr Baron, Curriculum leader of GREAT Lives at abaron@copleyacademy.org.uk

GCSE Course Details |

GREAT Lives does not currently provide a course offer at GCSE, however the skills studied throughout KS3 provide pupils with the tools required to achieve the best results they can including: resilience, study skills and a deepened contextual understanding of the wider world.
In addition, Copley Academy runs a very successful programme which focuses on introducing pupils to the world of work which includes introducing them to workers from different industries and providing extra-curricular trips and culturally enriching experiences. |
