Our Curriculum
What makes the curriculum unique at Jerry Clay Academy?
The children are at the heart of our curriculum.
We believe that every child should have the opportunity to have a quality knowledge-rich curriculum which builds on their self-esteem and self-confidence throughout their primary years.
We encourage our children to have high aspirations and strive to be the best they can be in every subject. We want our children to be responsible, confident and knowledgeable by the time they finish their journey at Jerry Clay Academy and move onto the next phase of their lives.
Over the last three years we have been developing the curriculum that we provide for our children. Our main aim is to provide exciting, stimulating connected learning which the children become fully absorbed in using a themed approach.
