Curriculum Intent into Implementation

Curriculum intent into implementation

My book Primary Curriculum Design and Delivery is now published. It takes a deep dive into the focus on intent into implementation and how to design and deliver a seamless and sequenced primary curriculum. I am currently writing its sister publication about the secondary curriculum which will be published towards the end of the year.

My focus for both is to look in detail at the complex issues around curriculum intent into implementation and offer practical solutions to creative and cohesive design and delivery.

Being an integral part of the growth and development of Learning Cultures over 12 years has given me the opportunity to delve deeply into what makes an outstanding curriculum and how through the power of professional conversations all schools can build an innovative and exciting curriculum that leads to the highest quality of education.

There is a vocabulary that all those from senior leaders, middle, curriculum, subject leaders and teachers need to know in the pursuance of excellence in their planning and delivery of a powerful curriculum offer. Intent and implementation or design and delivery of the curriculum starts with positive and transformational senior leadership defining the intent, the vision and the ambition, but the distribution of responsibility for its implementation is firmly with subject leaders and experts who can empower and work with their teaching teams to deliver outstanding pedagogy and deep learning.

Defining quality through a deep dive into curriculum intent and implementation

Since its inception in 2014 the new curriculum for England has become the fulcrum by which we measure quality in relation to the education we choose to shape for pupils in early years, primary and secondary schools. The most recent OFSTED handbook echoes throughout a desire to build the highest quality of leadership, teaching and learning, behaviour and pastoral care across the sector.

Create a Sequential and Seamless Secondary Curriculum

What I have tried to do is to look beyond the scope of inspection to the possibilities of developing a highly innovative and sequenced curriculum to ignite a passion for learning for both teachers and pupils that will last a lifetime. Curriculum intent into implementation has a wide and complex range of facets and needs to be a part of a well-structured CPDL strategy.

The course outlined below is a not to be missed deep dive into how to create the evidence of depth and breadth and a seamless learning experience that transcends three key stages.

Sequencing Science in the Primary Stage and KS3

I continue to be immersed in research into the curriculum and the absolute essential CPD that must be at the heart of building a curriculum offer that delivers the vision and sets the parameters for measuring and assuring the highest quality outcomes. Although this first book is aimed at the primary school leaders, subject and phase leaders and teachers as well as teacher educators it should also be of interest to those involved in the education of those in year 7 and key stage 3. There is an absolute imperative for secondary schools to build on prior learning especially as pupils cross the transition bridge from KS2 to KS3 .

This course about transition from primary to secondary school. It is one of our most popular courses. It is highly praised and provides a wealth of outstanding resources, materials and activities for you to ensure all pupils thrive and grow as they move from year 6 to year 7. This course is also available to download as an on demand version.

Professional conversations about curriculum intent and how it translates into the highest quality implementation in every subject and across year groups, phases and key stages are the key to success. My first book about the primary curriculum and its sister publication do and will include a wealth of guidance and ideas as to how to build a learning culture that puts curriculum at the heart of creating the highest quality education.

Consistency in curriculum design and delivery comes from creating time for senior and subject leaders to work together as well as subject leaders and their teams collaborating to plan what to teach, when to teach and how to teach their subject. Then time should be allocated for all involved to reflect on what works well and how all those involved can continue to grow in their role and build a collaborative process of continuous excellence and improvement.
