During their time at Unified Academy, students learn through an enriched curriculum which develops the skills and attitudes required to enable students to become successful and independent within adulthood. Students are guided throughout their curriculum with personalised targets to ensure that each learning experience is meaningful and helps every individual achieve their full potential.

Unified Academy supports careers development through high quality and personalised work experience opportunities, internal enterprise projects as well as bespoke planning and preparation of student career pathways.

We are committed to working in partnership with the local community and surrounding areas.

The Gatsby Benchmarks – what are they?

The Gatsby Benchmarks are a key measure of the effectiveness of career advice. They are also a very important part of the Government’s career strategy.

• A Stable Careers Programme
