Curriculum
Acland Burghley School is committed to providing an environment that enables full
curriculum access that values and includes all pupils, staff, parents and visitors
regardless of their education, physical, sensory, social, spiritual, emotional and
cultural needs. We are committed to taking positive action in the spirit of the Equality
Act 2010 with regard to disability and to developing a culture of inclusion, support
and awareness within the school.
The Accessibility Plan is in line with the school’s Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Policy and aims to ensure that we are socially and academically inclusive, that all students have access to a full curriculum, and that all students are appropriately challenged. Both documents can be found on our Policies page.
Curriculum departments have been grouped into faculties, in order to increase opportunities for collaboration to develop teaching and learning and raise achievement. Each faculty is lead by a Head of Faculty and each subject has its own Subject Leader. Please see below for a full list of all subjects available at Key Stage 4. For a full list of courses available at Key Stage 5, please visit the LaSWAP website.
For any enquiries regarding the curriculum we follow, please contact Aaron Shufflebotham, Deputy Headteacher – Curriculum on ashufflebotham@aclandburghley.camden.sch.uk.
