In this session, Colin will give a whirlwind overview of the history of curriculum in England; before exploring SSAT and Professor Dylan Wilams’ seven principles of curriculum design, and the four pillars of curriculum design – two frameworks to help schools think through and articulate their curriculum offer - based on your curriculum intent, content, delivery and experience. Delegates may leave with more questions to take back to school than answers, as well as tangible actions for next steps in delivering a world-class curriculum for all young people.
