Our children are encouraged to explore, discover and problem-solve through a range of exciting learning opportunities both within and outside the classroom, in a calm yet stimulating environment. The curriculum at KS1-3 covers the breadth of the National Curriculum, as well as offering other valuable vocational opportunities such as horse riding, ice skating and Forest School. In KS4-5, many of our young people follow a broad range of accredited courses which further offer the opportunity to build on knowledge, skills and understanding gained at KS3 whilst ensuring that there is a clear focus on ‘preparation for adulthood’.

Our wider curriculum offer at Endeavour Academy enables young people to develop their tolerance and understanding of others, as well as focusing on valuable life skills, enabling our children and young people to go on to live as independently as possible.
