About Clacton Coastal Academy
Teaching and Learning is a passion of all our staff and we believe it is the key to school improvement. When every teacher is delivering outstanding learning day in day out, when every teacher truly loves their subject, has a sense of humour and makes learning fun, and when every teacher knows the detail and nuances of the exam specifications to deliver top notch results, then, genuine sustainable school improvement will take place. We are passionate about ensuring every classroom is filled with this type of teacher.
"Every teacher needs to improve, not because they are not good enough, but because they can be even better."
To achieve this, we need a committed individual who is aligned to our vision and values, who also has a burning desire and passion to improve teaching and learning.

Information about the School
Welcome to Clacton Coastal Academy, a place where students can discover their passions, grow as individuals and prepare for their futures. Our team of dedicated staff work hard to create a safe and a positive learning environment which ensures students feel valued and encouraged to reach their full potential. CCA is rapidly improving, as it pivots towards high performance.
We offer a wide range of subjects and opportunities to suit every student's needs, abilities and their interests; from traditional academic to vocational to the new T levels which will begin in 2024. At CCA we guide each individual child throughout their entire time here to work towards what they aspire to be so they can find their remarkable. We want them to be ready, be respectful, be responsible.
At Clacton Coastal Academy we understand the value of strong pastoral care and positive relationships. Our focus is on ‘everyone known and known well’. This starts from a positive transition from primary school and goes all the way through to our CCA Sixth Form. Our comprehensive support system is in place to help and guide all students to enable them to achieve their very best. At CCA we strive to make every student feel like they belong here at CCA .
Alongside this sits our strong extra-curricular programme, which is enhanced by our Wednesday Enrichment Programme for all students.
Our facilities are also the best available, we have extensive access to sports facilities, TV studio, Radio Studio, as well as access to exclusive programs such as links to Ipswich Town Football Club and the players Academy. We're committed to providing our students with high quality education and a supportive Community to enable them to thrive.
Curriculum
At the Clacton Coastal Academy we aim to ensure that every child ends up in successful employment. To that end we ensure that our curriculum creates opportunities for students to become independent and self-motivated with the ability to be responsible, determined and aspirational. All students are individuals who develop in different ways and at different rates and the curriculum is designed to meet those individual’s needs and provide appropriate technology, qualifications and experiences to support students into their chosen career pathways.
The curriculum is centred around core concepts which are sequenced in order to support students in every subject. Core concepts form the bones of the subject. These pieces of knowledge or skills unlock further learning. Core concepts are sequenced in such a way that students are supported to secure each essential concept before moving onto the next. These concepts are focused around a knowledge rich curriculum where students learn topics to a high level of depth to help them to tackle mastery of each subject discipline.
We prioritise the development of reading, writing and communication to support students to access new challenges in the curriculum as this is an essential element for success in our local context. Students have dedicated reading lessons, to enhance their reading skills and build a culture of reading. Students read for twenty minutes a day every day. Subject leaders work hard to build vocabulary and increase the number of opportunities for students to read in lessons, with at least one reading focused lesson per half term.
We recognise our young people as individuals, offering support and challenges to empower them to achieve their aspirations with a high standard of lesson content. Where students need further support they are provided with opportunities within our Remarkable Futures programme (which provides intensive support to students at risk of disengaging with education) or our Transition Curriculum (which provides an enhanced curriculum to accelerate the progress of students who join CCA with significant gaps in their learning).
Additionally, there are a variety of enrichment activities to enhance our curriculum that mainly take place during our Wednesday enrichment afternoons. Year 11 and the Sixth form have allocated intervention times and a study hub to support their revision as they build up to their public examinations.
CCA is committed to providing all of our students with a broad and balanced curriculum. It is our belief that this large discipline of all subjects helps our students to receive a strong traditional academic education, while also having time to find expression in the creative subject areas.
