Our Curriculum

We have an uncompromising commitment to ensure that every child achieves their academic potential at Sawtry Village Academy. Our curriculum has been carefully designed to secure the best possible outcomes for our students and to create well-rounded and cultured individuals.

Year 7 and 8 curriculum

Year 7 students at Sawtry Village Academy will follow a new and exciting curriculum designed to help settle students into secondary education. This means that they will study English, History, Geography, Religious Studies, PE, Music, Languages, Technology, ICT/Computing, Core studies, Science and Mathematics as their main focus for Year 7 and 8. Our setting structure for some subjects ensures that students are able to both enjoy and be challenged to progress rapidly. In year 8, students choose, with the guidance of their form tutors and parents, their GCSE option choices to follow in year 9 onwards.

Year 9, 10 and 11 curriculum – GCSE

Students begin their GCSE studies in Year 9, which provides time to develop breadth and depth before taking examinations in Year 11.

Our guided choices programme allows students to access the creative and technical subjects, such as Art, Music, Sport, Drama, Product Design, Textiles, Sociology, Business, Computing, ICT and Food Technology, alongside a curriculum that focuses on developing students’ achievements in the core subjects: English, Maths, Science, History, Geography, Modern Foreign Languages, Ethics and practical PE.

The essence of Sawtry Village Academy’s curriculum is to ensure that every child achieves his or her maximum potential in the pursuit of striving for excellence across all subjects.
