'Schools should adopt their curriculum and begin to implement it, as agreed by the headteacher and the governing body. Schools should refine their curriculum design as their learners progress on a continuing basis. Schools should reflect on the effectiveness of their curriculum and use that insight to improve.'
'Adopting a curriculum is the beginning of an ongoing period of curriculum development and refinement. The curriculum should be continuously evolving, striving for higher expectations, better supported well-being and responding to learners’ changing needs, supported by evolving and improving learning and teaching.'
