On entry to the Academy, students enter one of the five Mini Schools, Darwin, Turing, Rutherford, Woolf or Keynes where they remain for five years. Each Mini School has a real sense of identity, belonging and healthy competition. All students follow a core curriculum consisting of English, Mathematics, Sciences, Languages, PE and our own bespoke programmes that focus on developing students thinking and independent learning skills. These programmes are pivotal in laying the strong foundations required for successful student outcomes. The bespoke curriculum is designed to ensure all students enjoy rich and dynamic learning opportunities. The curriculum supports students' academic, social and emotional growth by developing numerous transferable skills through exciting learning experiences. We are proud to offer our students a curriculum that is challenging, globally and culturally diverse with the intention of fostering young peoples curiosity and instilling a sense of passion and excitement for learning. Our ultimate aim is for all students to achieve high quality outcomes in all their learning programmes, so that they have excellent

opportunities for progression onto Higher Education, apprenticeships or employment. The UKAT Sixth Form is part of the established University of Kent Academies Trust (UKAT), and is the natural step for many of our students who are focused on achieving future successful careers. This is a joint sixth form provision between Brompton Academy and Chatham Grammar. The curriculum offer is extensive; meeting the demands of our ever changing global economy and coupled with the intensive wrap around learning support that has evolved through transition from Mini School to Sixth Form. Sixth Form students are also able to take advantage of the academic and social facilities at the University of Kent’s Medway campus. They receive support and guidance on university entry and career choices. In addition, students benefit from one-to-one mentoring by undergraduates from the University of Kent, which inspires them to complete their studies and progress to Higher Education. Students want to succeed, they want to have successful careers and they choose to stay at Brompton Academy.
