Curriculum
Walthamstow Academy has a powerful, intellectual and rigorous curriculum. The curriculum is designed to provide all our students with the core knowledge thatwill become the foundation of their success in life. They aim to maximise their cognitive development, to develop the whole person and the talents of the individual so that Walthamstow Academy students become well-informed, active and economically self-sufficient citizens. At the end of Year 9, students make their Key Stage 4 qualification choices, meaning that from Year 10 they are studying subjects they are particularly passionate and excited about. In Year 7 to Year 9 students study English, Maths, Science, Computing, French or Spanish, Music, Art, Drama, RE, Geography, History, Design Technology and PE. They study PSHE (Personal, Social and Health Education) and RSE (Relationships and Sex Education) during form time.

Things to note
SEND
Walthamstow Academy is committed to the individual needs of all young people. They respect diversity and aim to provide an educational environment in which all young people can thrive. They promote inclusion so that all students can realise their potential in terms of academic and personal achievement through access to the curriculum and extracurricular activities and by providing support, which is tailored to individual needs. They offer a broad and balanced curriculum and have high expectations for all students. The achievements, attitudes and well-being of all our students matter. This helps to ensure that this school promotes the individuality of all our students irrespective of ethnicity, attainment, age, disability, gender or background and that they have a common curriculum experience. The Inclusion team is led by Lisa Hostick (SENCo). The governor with particular responsibility for Inclusion is Leon Jacobs (Inclusion). They are extremely proud of being awarded the Inclusion Quality Mark (IQM) for outstanding inclusive practice - this award follows a rigorous inspection process, which took an in-depth look at the inclusion work here at the academy.
