Curriculum Overview

At Brymore Academy we aim to offer students a curriculum that equips them with the knowledge and skills to successfully progress onto further education and ultimately into employment of their choice.

We operate a two-week timetable with 30 periods per week distributed across a range of subjects as seen below. Alongside our ‘timetabled curriculum’, we offer a ‘wider curriculum’ that includes our daily tutor time sessions, enrichment activities, Friday afternoon personal development options, sports clubs, STEM and careers programmes alongside much more.

In key stage 3 we offer a broad range of subjects that are carefully balanced to ensure that all students develop knowledge and skills across different subject disciplines. Across Years 7 to 9 students study our bespoke Land Based Studies course that equips them with applied knowledge and skills in both Horticulture and Agriculture.

Year 10 serves as the formal start to GCSE studies and requires students to select their option subjects from a curated list of subjects. In Years 10 and 11 timetables follow the allocations below. We have purposefully ensured that Year 10 and 11 students receive 2 lessons of PE, as well as 2 lessons of games per fortnight for the benefit of their physical and mental wellbeing.
