Diversity and Citizenship
The Diversity and Citizenship Area is a very unique area of learning within the Academy because it caters for such a variety of pupils in such a variety of ways. The Faculty Area offers opportunities in Physical Education, Modern Foreign Languages, History, Geography, Philosophy and Ethics and the combined Humanities. This teaching area strives on providing pupils with exciting, innovative ways of learning, incorporating many different learning styles. The ethos for this area is a ‘can do / opportunities for all’ ethos, as we encourage pupils to understand the wider parameters of life including healthy living, green world issues and politics/religions of the world today and much more.
The Diversity and Citizenship Area offers the pupils to learn in different, exciting areas of the school ranging from the Physical Education Facilities including The Sports Hall, Gymnasium and ICT suite, to the unique Year 7 area, to specialist teaching classroom which are full of interesting and informative displays and teaching resources.
