Curriculum
Our vision is to give all students the best possible future and our curriculum is at the heart of this ambition. The curriculum at Broadway provides all students with a broad and rich experience. At its centre is the EBacc: English, Maths, Science, History, Geography and MFL.
We introduce students to the best that has been thought, written and spoken and help to engender an appreciation of human creativity and achievement. Our subject leaders have constructed a curriculum that is carefully planned to build the right knowledge and skills, not just to pass exams, but so that our students will remember important texts, people and skills throughout their lives.
We know that an exceptional curriculum also includes the arts and staying physically fit, so Broadway students study Art, Drama, Music, Information Technology, Design Technology and PE.
Our curriculum is designed to inspire and challenge, to promote academic rigour along with health and fitness, to develop leadership skills and develop our students into well rounded citizens. The School Values and British Values are a central part of everything that we do at Broadway. These are developed through our Personal Development Programme, which includes work related learning, enrichment and extra-curricular activities.
KS3
During Key Stage 3 (years 7- 9), Broadway pupils follow the National Curriculum programme of study and then take options.
KS4
During years 10 and 11, we offer a wide range of level 2 courses in all KS3 subjects plus Health and Social Care and Business Studies. Our curriculum offers pathways for all students, including those with SEN/D, on whom we have a strong focus, to ensure that they receive their curriculum entitlement and achieve good outcomes.
KS5
Our exciting and ever-expanding Key Stage 5 offer includes opportunities to study Law, Criminology, Psychology and Sociology as well as enrichment opportunities in the form of basketball, football and cricket academies which provide specialist coaching. Furthermore, we are working with Radley College so that the brightest students are challenged to achieve the top A Level grades and apply to the top universities.
We also have a KS5 pathway for students studying Entry Level and Level 1 and 2 qualifications
Co and Extra-Curricular
We are proud of our stunning co-curricular offer which extends learning beyond the classroom, giving students a broader educational experience and supporting the development of character and independence. Our students benefit from an extensive range of local, national and international visits to places of historical, geographical and cultural interest. Broadway Academy lease a campsite and lake at Island Pool in Worcestershire to develop Outdoor Education at the Academy. This, alongside the development of a working farm at the same location, offers our students outdoor learning opportunities which are integrated into every curriculum area
Pastoral care
We have a strong student support structure across the school with tutor groups within each year group, led by a Student Support Manager who is responsible for the personal and academic development of the students in their care. Form tutors see their student groups every day and build supportive relationships with students in their forms. Broadway Academy's pastoral structure provides a caring, respectful environment in which students can flourish.
We pride ourselves on being a caring school and value open working partnerships with the parents/carers of our students.
