What is the PACE curriculum?

At Co-op Academy Florence MacWilliams, our PACE curriculum aims to provide our students with the powerful knowledge, skills, and qualities they need to unlock their potential, enabling them to be physically healthy and mentally well citizens of modern Britain who actively contribute to society and know how to keep themselves and others safe. Our PACE curriculum is ambitious, broad, and balanced. It includes expert teaching on all elements of personal development within the academy, covering all relevant guidance from the Department for Education, supporting our culture of academic excellence and character development for all. At Co-op Academy Florence MacWilliams we define strong character as the good decisions we make, even when no one is watching. We further codify this as our PACE principles: Pride, Ambition, Care and Excellence for self, school and city. Through these principles, we teach all students the importance of making the right decisions at the right times for the right reasons.
