Key Stage 4

At Horbury Academy Key Stage 4 includes years 10 and 11. During year 9 pupils select optional subjects which are studied over two years and additional support is provided in English and/or Maths subject to the pathway they are on. The curriculum is designed to allow the Academy to focus more time on the core subjects in Year 11 and offer more intervention to targeted pupils to improve their core attainment.

We offer a wide range of both subjects and qualifications which will cater for all pupils’ needs, from applied courses to more academic courses. Pupils will follow a course that best suits their abilities, which could include: GCSEs, BTEC and Cambridge Nationals.

Pupils select either Geography, History or a language, with some pupils studying two of these, where appropriate. We design our curriculum around each individual child and it is, therefore, a bespoke curriculum.

The Accord Multi Academy Trust is an educational charity established in September 2016 that is currently made up of four academies who were the founding members of the Trust. In September 2016 Horbury Academy and Ossett Academy & Sixth Form College came together, moving away from their stand-alone Trust status and were joined in December 2016 by Horbury Primary Academy and Middlestown Primary Academy.

The overarching vision for the Trust is to work in one ‘Accord – celebrating the differences of each academy through strong collaboration in order to inspire all members of our learning community to be the best that they can be.
