Growth Curriculum

Exploring the Growth Curriculum

At George Spencer Academy, students start planning their destination beyond school as part of their everyday curriculum.

Activities are integrated into the curriculum make pupils more aware of the opportunities and challenges in different careers. Our students have the opportunity to personalise their curriculum through their Guided Pathways.

The pathways model helps them to consider their options at various stages and plan their priorities.

This website illustrates some stories of our students' pathways towards a life beyond school. We have focussed on some current and former pupils in Key Stage 4 and 5, in order to help young people, parents, carers and friends reflect upon the possibilities. Learning about others' ideas and stories can help pupils plan more confidently and in a more informed way.
