At ATT, we know that providing the very best education for our learners can transform their life chances. We aim to ensure that all our teachers and classroom-based colleagues have the skills and support they need provide a high quality of education.
Our ambitious approach to curriculum aims to equip all learners with the powerful knowledge and cultural capital that will enable them to succeed- not just in school, but by stimulating social mobility and lifelong learning. Every one of our learners experiences a curriculum that is ambitious, enjoyable, inclusive, and knowledge rich. Whilst inspiring young people with the breadth of creativity and human achievement, we’re at the same time ensuring that key skills like oracy, literacy, numeracy and digital skills are developed to give them access to the widest range of learning.
“Learning builds on what pupils already know. Pupils see themselves as experts in the different subjects – as scientists or historians, for instance – and learn well.”
Ofsted on Jubilee Academy Mossley, 2024
We aim to provide transformational teaching to all our pupils through three key approaches- an ambitious curriculum, a deep understanding of learners, and by following our shared Pedagogical Principles. These ten core concepts of teaching reflect a shared vision of excellence in teaching and learning across ATT, and are designed to ensure that every learner — regardless of background, need, or starting point — benefits from high-quality, evidence-informed practice. By fostering collaboration, harnessing best practices, and valuing the unique context of each academy, we strive to provide an inclusive and empowering educational environment.
“With effective trust support, the school has embedded an ambitious curriculum in most subjects across the school… [teachers] are ambitious for what pupils should be able to do from Year 7.”

At ATT, we believe that every child has the right to a transformative education. Our curriculum is designed with inclusivity and accessibility in mind; we use the Judith Carter 7Cs model to ensure intentional curriculum planning that allows teachers to adapt their lessons and delivery to the needs of their learners.
