Values and vision
King Edward VII Science and Sport College aims to prepare its students for later life, and strives to offer a curriculum that encompasses both academic and practical courses. Teachers ensure their students have the support they need to succeed. With one-on-one mentoring, revision sessions and extracurricular activities such as charity fundraising, overseas trips, drama and music, students are able to hone their skills in a range of areas. Professional work placements are also considered important to the curriculum and development of students.
Sport and science are at the core of the academy, but teachers work hard to enable students to succeed academically in a range of subjects. Alternative courses are available for students who struggle with the standard school curriculum. Additional support is available for reading, writing, communication and maths, from computer-based programmes for reading to online numeracy programmes.
