Intent

Esports provides a modern and engaging learning pathway that builds essential academic, social, and digital competencies.

The curriculum develops teamwork, communication, digital literacy, strategic thinking, and problem-solving. It offers a structured and progressive approach that supports students’ personal growth and prepares them for future education, training, and employment. Through a carefully planned sequence of learning, students engage with modern digital industries while developing transferable skills relevant to a wide range of future pathways.

Implementation

Students are supported to develop confidence, communication skills, and independence while working collaboratively as part of a team. Cross-curricular connections strengthen learning across subjects including ICT, literacy, mathematics, and PSHE.

The curriculum is delivered in a way that ensures students build knowledge securely over time and can apply it effectively in various real-world and digital contexts.
