Our curriculum brings together academic learning, personal development and preparation for adulthood. It is designed to be broad, ambitious and accessible to pupils with different starting points and support needs.
Pupils develop knowledge and skills through English, maths, science, Digital Functional Skills (Computing), humanities, creativity, PE and PSHE/RSHE. Reading, communication, independence and safe choices are reinforced across school life.
Learning is sequenced so that pupils can build on what they already know. Teachers revisit important ideas, introduce new knowledge in manageable steps and help pupils apply their learning in different contexts.
We adapt teaching and support in response to assessment, individual needs and EHCP outcomes. Pupils have opportunities to develop their interests, understand the wider world and experience achievement.
At Key Stage 4, appropriate qualification pathways support progression beyond school. Careers education, enrichment and practical experiences help pupils connect what they learn with their future lives.
Academic performance and examination results
As a new school, Our Rock Academy does not yet have examination results to publish. Results will be added when our first cohort has completed their qualifications.
We will monitor each pupil’s progress from their individual starting points, recognising academic achievement alongside progress in communication, independence, confidence and personal development. Parents and carers will receive regular updates on their child’s progress.
Remote Education
Where a pupil cannot attend school, we will consider whether remote education is appropriate, taking account of their circumstances, wellbeing and special educational needs.
Where provided, learning will reflect the pupil’s curriculum and individual starting points. This may include printed resources, supported tasks or online activities, with clear instructions and suitable adjustments.
We will work with parents and carers to agree manageable arrangements, consider access to equipment and staff support, and review the pupil’s engagement and progress.
Remote education arrangements will be considered alongside support for the pupil’s return to school. Please contact the Headteacher to discuss your child’s circumstances.
