Four years ago we decided to create a whole-school curriculum model structured around Ofsted’s descriptors for the quality of education – the three “I”s.
We did this because it was (rightly) the focus of the new inspection framework, but also because it chimed with our own attempts to broaden the curriculum in previous years.
We were inspired by a book called The Fourth Way (2009) by Professors Andy Hargreaves and Dennis Shirley to instigate a multitude of local and international curricular projects and we felt that we could capture the spirit of this work well within a three “I” model.
Our aim then became to distill all of our best educational practice into one succinct, yet comprehensive document that curriculum designers could refer to when planning their schemes of learning.
