Our commitment to this is implicit in our statement that in our school you ‘Create your future’. 2 YOUR GROWTH Our students spend time in their mixed age community groups at the start of every day.

To this end, we are proud to be a STEAM school where cutting edge technology, an exciting Arts curriculum and strong teaching all help our students develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to enable them to fulfil their ambitions and make their mark on the world. Our STEAM curriculum, supported by strong links with our University and business ensures our students are well prepared to thrive in an increasingly competitive, and ever changing job market. 7 “Pupils are safe, secure and happy. They know they can rely on staff for help at any time of the day.” Ofsted 2017 PROJECT BASED LEARNING Throughout their time at UAE every student engages in a number of projects in collaboration with others. In these projects the group is presented with a real world problem, often from one of our business and industry partners. The students then have to apply their prior learning, and newly researched knowledge, along with creativity, craft and teamwork skills to develop a solution. By putting their learning into context and giving students an authentic experience where they are responsible for the outcomes we find students are more engaged and better prepared for the world of work. 8 CURRICULUM KEY STAGE 3 YEARS 7,8 and 9 Moving on to secondary school is a big step. We’ve designed our key stage 3 curriculum to ensure all students are given a solid grounding in the key concepts and knowledge across a full range of subjects. On their first day every student has a ‘Community Leader’ who takes responsibility for their academic progress, personal welfare and development as well as being the first point of contact for families. SUBJECTS All lessons are taught by specialist subject teachers to help students delve deep into the body of knowledge. Students study a full curriculum which includes courses in Mathematics, English, Science, P.E and the Humanities. Design Technology and Engineering is taught right from the very start in year 7 and students have access to specialist equipment and machinery in well-resourced workshops. They also learn to code in Computer Science and every student takes courses in Music, Art and Drama Our curriculum has a strong focus on oracy, literacy and throughout key stage 3.

In particular we ask that you give consideration to the following points: Clarity on timing and support for planning: If many of our business are to survive a further period of national lockdown, support to help firms to plan more effectively and proactively for the medium to longer term is essential. While we appreciate the need to respond quickly to changes in circumstances that require a fast-paced implementation of Covid-19 restrictions, the manner in which changes are communicated with local authorities and businesses is both destabilising and hampers effective planning for the longer-term. We welcome the most recent extension to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to the end of March 2021, but a lack of clarity on support that is available for ongoing business resilience means that many of our companies are struggling with both the here and now, and the ability to plan effectively for the longer term.
