Believe it can be done! Believe it can be done! Broadway Academy Open Evening/Curriculum showcase for current Year 6 students (Year 7 students in 2025). Thursday 25th September between 3.30pm and 7.00pm WELCOME TO BROADWAY We want to make sure students are safe, happy and love learning. We encourage all students to develop their character throughout their time at Broadway. This is achieved by encouraging students to live out and practise the Academy values of Integrity, Respect, Optimism, Responsibility, Appreciation, Aspiration, Aspiration, Generosity and Inclusivity. Our curriculum is tailored to the community and designed to enable all students to maximise their academic potential so that they can flourish, whilst at school and throughout their lives, as proactive British Citizens. We have an unswerving bias towards the students who come from poor families and also SEND students. We provide a safe, caring and inspirational learning environment based on excellent learning, exceptional pastoral support and a stunning co-curricular programme. We have created a special ethos at Broadway that visitors often notice when they visit. Our school motto is “Our Children, Our Community, Believe it can be done” The aims of Broadway Academy 2024/25 are: We prepare students for life. We are an inner-city school, a very good school with circa 1300 students serving one of the most deprived wards in Europe. Our school motto is ‘Our Children, Our Community, Believe it can be done.’ We prepare students for life through a distinctive approach to education through a rich, exciting and vibrant curriculum. We have our own working farm and outdoor education centre, an hour away, we have extensive sports, arts, music and extracurricular programmes. Students love coming to Broadway, they feel safe, and excel academically. We are often in the top 10% of schools nationally for attendance and GSSE exam results and in the top 2% of schools (according to PISA DATA 2023) for students’ hope and optimism. Our aim at Broadway Academy is to develop students for life. Philippians 4:8 Whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Broadway Academy operates within the parameters of the law. The law: Section 78(1) Education 2002 Act: (a) promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society, and (b) prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of life The objectives for Broadway Academy 2024 -2029 are to: To deliver an Exceptional Educational Experience through a rich and diverse curriculum. Ensure attendance and punctuality is outstanding. Throughout the curriculum, assemblies, extra-curricular programmes and partnerships with faith communities there is a focus on students’ spiritual, cultural, mental and physical development. Further develop the extra-curricular and co-curricular experience, for all students with a particular focus on the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, Drama, outdoor education at Island Pool and outdoor learning at Esperance Farm. Become a Centre of Excellence for RE, Sport and Music. Increase sixth form numbers and expand the curricular offer, in the sixth form, to include vocational courses particularly associated with Esperance Farm and Island Pool Outdoor Centre. We know that life is not linear and we want to prepare students for the challenges of life. We develop students’ character through a vibrant and exciting curriculum including assemblies, collective worship and established links with faith partners. RE is a core subject for all students which helps them to explore the paradoxes and mysteries of faith and life, we believe it is important to contribute to their spiritual development, their Religious Literacy and their resilience.
