King’s Academy Bay House recognises that excellent teaching and learning is led by the needs of the learner. It is good practice to adapt plans according to what is in the best interests of our students. Learning lost because of the pandemic is something we are responding to. Therefore our curriculum intentions outlined here are an example and taster of our planning.
We offer a wide range of subjects in Years 7-11. Click the boxes below to find out more about what each subject offers.
Business and Economics
Business is for pupils who want to learn more about and are interested in learning about the core business concepts and how businesses work. Which is extremely topical in today's market. Pupils learn how to analyse financial information to assess how well a business is performing.
Computing & ICT
The Computer Science and ICT department at Bay House School aims to equip learners with the skills needed to be successful when using technology and survive in the dynamic digital environment.
Pupils and students will learn how to apply computational thinking skills to a range of problems in Computing Science and ICT.
English
English is a critical part of today’s education. We aim to help our learners develop into effective, articulate communicators, who have the skills to succeed in the 21st century. Our innovative approaches, including the use of ICT in the classrooms, means that we are able to prepare students for the challenges and opportunities they may face in their future.
History
History has an important role in helping students to understand who they are and where they are in the broader context of their place in society, the world and in time. We aim to help students develop successful working relationships with others through group activities and role-play; as well as developing their self-discipline, independent learning and problem-solving skills.
Library
The library staff aim to promote reading for pleasure in a number of ways and to support students by providing a range of resources to facilitate learning. We host numerous events throughout the year including an author visit, the celebration of World Book Day as well as themed reading weeks. The library promotes research and study skills and works closely with students requiring reading support and intervention.
