This NEW training has been updated for 2025 & reflects new national guidance & Bradford district specific guidance and issues.
This session is planned to coincide with the launch of the NEW guidance coming from the recent government review of the national curriculum.
We explore how governing boards can collaborate with school leaders to review the curriculum aims of their school(s) and identify areas for development that align with their vision. It also sets out how boards can monitor and evaluate curriculum impact and
be confident in discussing their approach during Ofsted inspections.
Description
While school leaders and teachers are responsible for planning and teaching the curriculum, governors & the Board have a significant role in ensuring that every pupil experiences a curriculum that is broad and balanced, and which equips them with the knowledge
and cultural capital they need to succeed in life.
This session summaries the changes taking place from the recent review of the national curriculum & what it means to you and your school. We will explore the sources of information that governors can use support curriculum delivery and ways in which the
Board can hold the necessary strategic discussions, including the development of the learning ethos of the school(s).
Governing Boards need to be informed about their school(s)’ curriculum so that they can support and challenge their school leaders to develop and improve the curriculum in line with statutory guidance and effectively monitor curriculum implementation and
the impact on pupil outcomes.
Places can be booked via Skills for Bradford or by contacting school.governor@bradford.gov.uk
