Curriculum design and delivery (part 7)

Curriculum Whole-school issues
In the final part of his series on designing and delivering a whole-school curriculum, Matt Bromley recaps his key advice, discusses the importance of the language of learning used by teachers, and looks at Ofsted’s latest comments ahead of its new inspection framework

This is the final part of my series on curriculum design. Before I conclude, here’s a recap.

I began the series by predicting the likely focus of Ofsted’s 2019 Common Inspection Framework. We can infer from the content of chief inspector Amanda Spielman’s speeches and from a consultation the inspectorate has conducted, that Ofsted will evaluate the intent, implementation and impact of the school curriculum.

This content now includes Ms Spielman’s most recent speech last week (October 11) confirming that the framework in 2019 will focus on “the substance of education and a broad curriculum” and will include a new judgement (subject to consultation) on the Quality of Education.
