Our Curriculum

Curriculum taught at Key Stage 4

We are proud to offer a curriculum which is broad and balanced, offering students a wide variety of opportunities inside and outside the Academy. Our intent is to broaden students’ awareness of wider issues whilst immersing them in a knowledge and skill rich curriculum which allows them to be successful in whatever they choose to do. We offer a range of option subjects which include academic and vocational choices. A large number of students complete the Ebacc. suite of subjects at GCSE with great success. For more information about what is studied in each subject please see the curriculum packs below.

More information about next year’s option choices will be available through our Pathways Booklet released in March 2020.

Subjects Offered at Key Stage 5

We largely focus on academic A-Levels within our Sixth Form at Q3 Academy Great Barr. Our curriculum not only supports excellent outcomes in their chosen subjects but also supports students in making their next steps in their careers.
