Unpicking whole curriculum packages, In recent years many primary schools have bought into curriculum packages. There is a very wide range on offer – International Primary Curriculum, Cornerstones Curriculum, Essentials Curriculum, PlanBee, Twinkl PlanIt and Inspire Cornwall – to name just a few. Some provide planning and support for all subjects within a single resource, whilst others allow schools to buy specific subject plans or units of work according to their needs. Whether your school has purchased such a resource or is thinking of doing so, as a subject leader it is important to...
Primary curriculum – are you well connected?, The first thing to be clear about is the difference between the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of the primary curriculum. Although compulsory content is specified in the NC programmes of study, how this is organised and taught remains a matter for schools, so there is no reason for schools to stop making helpful connections between subjects. The best primary practice includes a blend of rigorous discrete subject teaching and equally effective cross-curricular links, with both approaches needed for effective learning. For primary-aged children to make good progress as designers, scientists,...
Secondary, Secondary Design and Technology builds on the skills and knowledge pupils have already learnt at primary school. It leverages increasingly sophisticated resources, including dedicated teaching environments, manufacturing equipment and specialist teaching. As students progress through this phase, they may be given the opportunity to focus on specific aspects of the subject such as product design, food technology, engineering, systems and control, electronics, textiles and graphics. However, at its core is creativity and imagination. Students learn to design and make products that solve genuine, relevant problems within different contexts whilst considering their own and others’ needs, wants and values....
