The Academy
An Altogether better place to learn
Principal鈥檚 vision
At 爱豆传媒入口 we care about our students, inspiring, motivating and challenging them to fulfil their potential through hard work and determination.听 We offer a holistic education that is pillared on great support, amazing opportunities and a fabulous curriculum that is delivered with flair and confidence which produces exceptional results.听 We foster in all of our students kindness and the ability to work hard, with determination.
Our curriculum is both joyful and rigorous.听 It ignites curiosity and fosters creativity; all students are supported to unleash their inner brilliance and find their talents. Our school鈥檚 curriculum nurtures well-rounded individuals who can thrive in an ever-changing world.听 We recognise that each student enters our doors with a distinct set of abilities. We tailor our teaching and learning experiences to ensure that every student can maximise their potential,听 providing the space and guidance for them to explore and excel. Our curriculum ensures that knowledge is placed in context, emphasising听 the interconnectedness.听
Beyond academic subjects, our curriculum embraces holistic development. Co-curricular programmes, outdoor education, and extracurricular activities are integral.听Students have opportunities to hone leadership skills, develop emotional intelligence, and discover hidden talents, whether it鈥檚 playing an instrument, painting, or leading a team.
Our school is an integral part of the community.听 Students learn about local history, collaborate with community organisations, and contribute meaningfully. By understanding their surroundings, they discover how their talents can serve a greater purpose. We encourage students to foster and pursue their passion; their interests are nurtured through our wider curriculum which broadens their learning experiences.听 Students, across a range of curricular and co-curricular areas, are supported to compete and succeed at a National level.
Our curriculum celebrates diversity and inspires excellence; it acts as a compass guiding students toward self-discovery. The curriculum goes beyond merely imparting knowledge; it ignites passions, reveals hidden talents, and prepares our students to make meaningful contributions to the world.听

INNOVATION, COLLABORATION, INSPIRATION听
The Trust behaviour principles of INNOVATION, COLLABORATION and INSPIRATION have driven the development of our curriculum and are the methodology that we use to deliver my vision for the students at 爱豆传媒入口. Our Trust鈥檚 values are embedded in the school鈥檚 vision. The infogram below illustrates how all of these combine to set out what our process is and the roles for staff and students to play in achieving the outcomes I have set out.听
At Shireland we have an amazing and dedicated staff body that supports students on their journey through Shireland. They are committed to providing a 鈥渨orld class education鈥� and opportunities to demonstrate that, despite the challenges our community often face, that our students can compete and succeed at the very highest level.
At the heart of this is an innovative academic curriculum that is connected and flows from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 5. Our L4L curriculum has been developed over a 15 year period and has been published by Hodder Education and is quality assured by leading professionals such as Professor Mick Waters.
Our academic curriculum is supported by a rich and vibrant extra-curricular programme that affords pupils the opportunities to express themselves and to strive to push themselves further. Whether this be in the Arts, Sports, subject based clubs, Debate Mate, F1 in Schools or one of the many other areas it is a perfect compliment and supporting mechanism to our academic curriculum.
This is further developed with our Futures and enrichment programme within our Sixth Form. This gives a full personal development curriculum of opportunities all the way through our school.
