Our curriculum is supported by a clear set of policies, frameworks and curriculum documents that explain how learning is planned, delivered, assessed and reviewed at Waterside Academy.

These documents provide the detail behind our curriculum approach and help ensure that pupils experience a broad, ambitious, coherent and purposeful curriculum that is delivered consistently across the academy.

Key documents include:

• Curriculum Policy 2026–27
• Teaching & Learning Policy and Practice Framework
• Curriculum Offer
• Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 Curriculum Maps
• Subject Curriculum Documents
• Assessment and Feedback Guidance
• Off-site Learning and Alternative Provision Guidance, where relevant

Together, these documents set out the expectations for curriculum design, sequencing, teaching, assessment, personalisation and quality assurance across Waterside Academy.
