The settings that are doing the most thoughtful work start with thinking about what their pupils and the community really need. We see terrific examples of this from Milton Road Primary School and the Fulbridge Academy. A great curriculum takes the national curriculum as a starting point and includes opportunities for truly memorable learning. If we’re looking for inspiration to take our own curriculum thinking to the next level, then the best way we can do this is to eavesdrop the conversations of colleagues doing interesting stuff. When we are presented with case studies, it’s as though we are part of the conversation. The Curriculum Compendium is a magnificent body of work with stunning contributions from colleagues across the sector. It makes a significant contribution to the curriculum conversations across the country and deserves to be in every school. * Mary Myatt, education writer and speaker * There are no quick fixes to creating a great curriculum.
