Tamworth Enterprise College is committed to providing a curriculum that is broad, balanced, challenging and fosters a love of learning. We match our curriculum to the abilities, interests and aspirations of our students, to give every child the opportunity to strive for personal excellence. We are an academy that aims to open doors for every pupil, and we therefore value the contribution that creative and practical learning brings to a child’s development alongside the traditional subjects. Our hope is that every child who leaves Tamworth Enterprise College has the qualifications, skills, knowledge and character to access aspirational Post-16 opportunities and to lead a remarkable life that includes positive relationships, resilience and financial independence

Through every lesson our mastery curriculum is designed to create a compelling learning experience: the following drivers underpin our curriculum intent. They are to encourage and develop students to: 

1.            take an enterprising, proactive approach to life and learning

2.            develop a depth of knowledge within subjects and the wider world 

3.            become leaders of learning through independence and resilience

4.            be creative thinkers, able to innovate and initiate, whatever the challenge

5.            be confident, articulate masters of communication.

We aim to develop 8 remarkable character traits in our students to ensure they are ready for learning and life-long challenges, respectful citizens of the future and safe fully-rounded individuals:

• Curiosity – taking an active interest in learning; asking questions in learning and exploring new things

• Empathy – showing respect for others; finding solutions to conflict; thinking about others before acting

• Resilience/ self-control – sticking with an activity despite the challenges; facing failure with confidence and perseverance

• Courage – taking part in a wide range of activities; trying new things; challenging themselves

• Gratitude – appreciating what others do; showing appreciation for opportunities
