How to be creative and effective with the new National Curriculum for English- a course for school leaders

  • Prepare for the biggest curriculum change since 1998
  • Clarify time scales and find out what will change and what will stay the same
  • Consider changes to assessment and expectations when levels are removed
  • Understand up-to-date research on how best to teach grammar
  • Identify effective strategies for teaching reading, including heritage literature and poetry

This course is for Primary English Subject leaders, Primary headteachers, Senior leaders and experienced teachers. The course was first run in November 2013, where 100% of delegates rated the day as ‘Excellent’.

“A super input and discussion. Lots to try straight away.”
“I now have an in-depth knowledge of the new curriculum and what we need to do in our school to prepare for the change.  I’ve learnt so much.”
“It was all really useful thank you – so clear and ‘grounded’.”

During the day, delegates will explore the programmes of study for KS1 and KS2 and consider the freedoms available to schools to create an innovative and creative curriculum to inspire teachers and children. They will have opportunities to identify school priorities and implementation strategies to support school wide innovation.
