Curriculum
Everybody with responsibility for learning at West Hatch believe that the curriculum aims: to develop confident, resilient and ambitious learners who are well prepared for their futures academically and personally. All young people are entitled to a broad school curriculum but also one that is relevant to their learning needs. At West Hatch they place an emphasis on a progressive curriculum, focused on the learner and aimed to raise standards. They believe that students are more empowered to achieve within a curriculum model that emphasises specialist teaching and learning in discrete subject areas so the curriculum is mainly organised this way. Whilst preparing the students for the world of work is important, they see the curriculum as the totality of experiences which they plan for the students through their time in education; so the curriculum also includes elements that educate the young people towards a safe, rich and fulfilling life, and offers opportunities for them to develop through a diverse range of extra-curricular activities.
