The current Ofsted framework focuses heavily on the curriculum decisions made by subject leaders. Leaders at all levels need to be confident in articulating the rationale behind the choices that have been made and their judgements about the quality of provision.

The event will cover the following areas:

• Intent – balancing whole school consistency with departmental autonomy
• Content – exploring decisions about content and specifications
• Pedagogy – considering curriculum delivery and retention
• Impact – evidencing that ambitions are being realised
• Being ready, not preparing for, an Ofsted inspection
• Opportunities to share ideas with other colleagues in the network

Learning outcomes

The event will provide practical advice and guidance for working with link departments and considering whole school curriculum strategy. It will ensure that you have a confident understanding of what Ofsted will be looking at and suggest ways to evidence the impact of your approach to curriculum. It will share strategies for working successfully with middle leaders, even where the subject matter is outside your area of expertise.

If you are interested in running this event for all of your leadership team and your middle leaders, contact us and we can schedule an event for your school. We can also tailor curriculum support around your specific needs – Just get in touch.
