Our curriculum has been designed with our learners’ needs at the heart. It is:

  • Trauma-aware and inclusive – safety and belonging come first
  • Structured and connected – knowledge builds step-by-step across subjects
  • Language and knowledge rich – helping learners close gaps and gain cultural capital
  • Focused on personal growth – building resilience, independence and self-regulation
  • Broad and aspirational – offering diverse subjects and pathways to prepare for adulthood

Every young person at Horizons Academy will follow the full national curriculum, alongside PSHE, RE, and enrichment.

Music is an important part of our curriculum, and we are committed to giving all children the opportunity to learn, perform, and enjoy music. Read our music development plan to find out more.
