Assessments All students are assessed throughout the year. Parents and carers receive three progress reports that detail the outcomes of these assessments and one parent/carer evening per year to discuss progress. Homework In Year 7 students' complete homework in several subjects with a timetable in place to ensure there is an even spread of homework assignments across the curriculum. Homework support clubs are available in the library at the end of the academy day. Learning in the UKAT Sixth Form The UKAT Sixth Form is progressive, forward thinking, challenging and enables students to build on their Level 2 GCSE successes. Students are offered a broad and exciting range of learning pathways, where students achieve excellent Level 3 qualifications securing places at top Universities across the UK. The unique UKAT Sixth Form offer connects our post-16 students with a wide range of university programmes and undergraduate facilities, based at the Medway universities campus. This groundbreaking partnership with the University of Kent enables the

academy to offer exclusive and bespoke opportunities to engage with Higher Education, unlike any other provider. Curriculum input by the University of Kent lecturers and undergraduates, along with study skill support and unparalleled access to the University of Kent facilities, means that academy students gain an exclusive insight into the world of Higher Education. Through our innovative careers service, we also promote and encourage students to consider the world of work and pursue dynamic employment pathways in the ever-changing world of work. Careers Careers education takes time, but the result can be thoroughly rewarding for every student. We regard student preparation for the world of work as a shared responsibility, helping each other to achieve mutual goals. This means we have our own CG academy Careers Coordinator who provides first class careers support for all students as they plan for their future. To find out more, students can use our extensive array of resources about their chosen career or use it as an ‘ideas bank’ if they remain undecided and need some extra help in making one of their most important life decisions. These resources can be found in the Library,

including prospectuses, Unifrog, the careers one stop online platform for careers advice, computerised databases, all of which are continually updated to ensure only the best possible advice is available. Aims for PE and Sport The Physical Education programme provides students with access to a wide range of activities and offers students a rich and varied extra-curricular programme. Our curriculum endeavours to offer a balance of traditional sporting activities with alternative sports to maximise engagement. Extra-curricular opportunities are vast and range from competitive experiences like the Secondary School Games, Combined Cadet Force (CCF) to internationally recognised awards with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and adventurous activities trips. Outstanding participation is what we strive for, we encourage and support students to become confident in a way which supports their health and fitness to lead healthier active lifestyles. We achieve this through knowing and applying the fundamental techniques and skills for different sporting activities and through praising effort by providing leadership points. The excellent facilities we have further support the level of interest and participation of our fantastic students.
