Teaching and Learning

Our staff adapt their teaching to suit the needs of each pupil, ensuring that every child feels supported and challenged. Whether learning takes place individually, in small groups, or as a whole class, our teaching is designed to stretch young minds without causing frustration. We are committed to recognizing and celebrating every achievement, providing positive encouragement that builds confidence and fosters a sense of accomplishment as well as encouraging and embracing mistakes in learning too.

Learning at King James Academy extends far beyond the traditional classroom. We recognize the importance of learning through imaginative and active opportunities throughout the school day. From interactive lessons and creative problem-solving to outdoor exploration and educational visits, our pupils benefit from a broad and balanced curriculum that nurtures their natural curiosity.

Our curriculum, supported by Kapow, has been thoughtfully developed to offer the very best experiences for our students. It is designed to provide not just knowledge, but also critical thinking skills, with subject-specific concepts woven throughout. This ensures that each child gains a deep understanding of the world around them and the skills to navigate it successfully.

At King James Academy, learning is an adventure, and every day brings new opportunities for discovery both inside and outside the classroom.
