Our
curriculum design sets out to achieve three aims:
- To ensure that every student can achieve their full
academic potential
- To offer every child the chance to study a
broad, balanced and relevant curriculum which will prepare them for their next
steps in education and working life
- To give students at Key Stages 4 the
chance to personalise their curriculum to which match their talents, interests
and plans for the future.
The Hillsview Academy timetable is
based on 50 one hour lessons per fortnight.
PSHCE is
taught within form time.
