Hope Academy is a family, guided by Christian love, in which we serve our whole community with empathy and compassion, helping every member to flourish so all can pursue a rich and full life.

 Our curriculum is designed to encourage a love of life-long learning, guided by the ultimate Christian value of love. We work to ensure that our curriculum makes our school’s vision a reality and that every member of our Hope family can flourish and be the best that they can be.

 As a joint denominational Academy, we pride ourselves in providing a curriculum which encourages students to live “Life in all its fullness” [John 10:10].

We are passionate about ensuring that students evolve to become rounded individuals who can engage with the world around them with confidence and maturity. Our core values of Respect, Courage, Ambition and Hope are the centre of everything we do and are driving force behind our focus at Hope on students’ character development. Developing in each of these four attributes means that students can successfully uphold these values throughout their academy life and beyond.

Our curriculum not only covers a broad range of subjects, ensuring that students have opportunities to nurture academic, technical and sporting skill, but focuses on the development of students social and interpersonal skills, which are all so vital to their future outside of the Academy.
At Key Stage Three, a broad range of subjects enable students to develop a range of transferrable skills which will underpin their later level studies. Within subjects, they are encouraged to critically consider the world around them, linking work in the classroom to the wider world around them. Our daily Inspire lessons provide regular focus on personal development, encouraging students to consider themselves as members of local, national and a wider global community. 

In Key Stage 4 (Year 10 and 11) students are guided to select subjects that are tailored to their interests and aspirations. Alongside the core subjects of English, Maths, Science, RE and PE, students can study:

Geography, History, French, Spanish, Music, Photography, GCSE PE, Sports Studies, Engineering, Digital IT, Business, Computer Science, Drama, Art, Hospitality and Catering, Separate Sciences, Design Technology, Child Development, Health and Social Care, Construction.
