Whole School Curriculum Development

What support is available for whole school & cluster curriculum development in 2024/25?

Bespoke Support:- If you would like bespoke support for professional learning in any aspect of whole school curriculum development, please get into contact and we can broker this for you. Please contact James.Kent@sewaleseas.org.uk with requests. We are happy to facilitate requests for individual schools or clusters.

Cluster Support (Shared Understanding of Progression):- In 2024/25 we will continue to work with Professor Mick Waters and schools to refine our action research approach to developing a shared understanding of progression across clusters. EAS team members can also provide support at a cluster level to support curriculum planning and progression, working across the learning continuum.

Professional Learning:- As part of our professional learning offer there are some programmes available to support whole school curriculum development. These are highlight below.

Resources:- There are a range of resources that could be utilised to support wholes school professional learning, which have been curated into collections below. We will also be sharing examples of whole school curriculum planning, to provide practical support to schools over the coming months.

Networks:- We will continue to run the secondary curriculum design network (hosted by secondary schools across the region) and the Progression and Assessment network, to provide system level updates and share practice across schools.
