The curriculum is our central purpose and all that we want for our pupils. To the left, you can access our Accord Curriculum Principles. These principles guide and shape all that they do at subject-level and across all aspects of Academy life.  Below is an overview of the Key Stage 3 curriculum for each subject, which includes support for parents on how they can support their child at home. At the bottom of the page, you will also find information on our Key Stage 4 curriculum, the courses on offer and guidance for Year 9 pupils as they make their choice of subjects to study for their GCSEs in Years 10 and 11.

SEND
Ossett Academy and Sixth Form have an open ethos and they aim to provide a broad and balanced learning experience for all students regardless of Special Educational Need or Disability (SEND). However, they recognise that this has to be within the context of the learning environment. Personal and social education covers all aspects of emotional and social development. The Staff are flexible in responding to issues as and when they arise (e.g. friendship problems, self-esteem issues).
