The Academy is pioneering the new ‘Opening Minds’ curriculum. This employs a project-based approach to learning, which covers a combination of skills across the project, rather than concentrating on separate subjects. This has resulted in large open plan classrooms (70m²), which have flexible moveable walls to allow connection to adjacent classrooms, wet areas and moveable furniture to allow for increased flexibility.
