An effective curriculum is the foundation of a good school. Yet getting it right is not easy.
Several years ago at my school, Uppingham Community College, we embarked on a journey to rethink and improve our curriculum provision. We had a broad curriculum with most departments having detailed plans in place. Student outcomes were good, and teaching and learning was very effective.

It was also apparent that we could be better at sharing our curriculum intentions with students and their parents.
