An insightful and practical book that details the transformational steps a school can take towards designing and delivering a rich, rigorous and wide-ranging curriculum. Rather than being a model curriculum that can be uprooted and planted in any school, the book is a model that schools can use to design their own curriculum, one that not only encourages children to be active participants in their own learning, but also to see the benefits of being part of a bigger, wider family of learners. The authors concentrate on the foundation subjects, particularly history, geography and science but also design and technology and art and design - areas that are often challenging for teachers in primary schools. Subjects are brought together and explored under 'big ideas' and, crucially, the emphasis is on avoiding the superficial and trivial and rooting teaching in extending and challenging children. All children deserve an engaging, exciting curriculum designed to spark their curiosity, feed their imagination and develop their skills and knowledge. With clear timelines and an honest and transparent dialogue about the challenges and benefits of working together collaboratively and the importance of external expertise, A Curious Curriculum is an essential read for all school leaders. Suitable for executive leaders, head teachers, curriculum coordinators and subject leaders in primary school settings.
