Why does your school need a curriculum project?
Why does your school need a curriculum project?
By now, it is no secret that Ofsted will be focusing their inspections ‘on the real substance of education: the curriculum,’ which reconsiders ‘pupil outcomes’ as a measurement and applies a greater emphasis on the ‘quality’ of what and how pupils are taught.
To ensure that pupils receive a well-rounded, balanced curriculum, schools should carefully plan their curriculum with the children in mind. It is essential that school leaders have enhanced expertise in curriculum development so that they can create a school curriculum that incorporates the most important ideas in curriculum theory and the science of learning.
Through four sessions, aimed at heads of schools and senior leaders, the curriculum project will explore ways in which school leaders can confidently become highly effective curriculum leaders and learn how to develop a broad and balanced curriculum.
Curriculum Project Overview
Project Outcomes
- Articulate the curriculum theory which has informed the curriculum intent
- Write a comprehensive curriculum development plan
- Effectively evaluate the impact of the curriculum.
