At Stockwell Academy we deliver a rigorous, well planned curriculum combined with high quality teaching ensures that children are supported to be well rounded, empathetic young people who have a genuine thirst for learning. Children develop a strong sense of moral purpose in addition to a respect for and understanding of people who have different characteristics to themselves, whether that be age, disability, gender, race or sexuality. 

We place a strong emphasis on the development of the basic skills necessary to be confident, articulate and independent learners. All children take part in a daily English and Maths lesson. 

Planning for the majority of subjects, is based on our ‘Learning Challenge Curriculum’ where a topic/theme approach is employed. The key drivers of this approach are that it is:
