Building a curriculum that works for every child
Thursday, June 25th from 4pm – 5pm BST
Overview
Every Child Achieving and Thriving and the Curriculum and Assessment Review have put curriculum front and centre for policymakers, school leaders and teachers. To help schools respond to these developments, our webinar brings Mary Myatt and Jaz Ampaw-Farr together to help schools cut through the noise. Two practitioners with decades of experience in classrooms and trusts sharing what works and what matters most right now.
We’ll be exploring the “wasted years” of KS3 where students often plateau rather than progress with learning.; how to build inclusion and psychological safety into the curriculum from the start; and the key priorities schools should be acting on right now, whatever phase or context you’re working in.
What we’ll cover:
Clarity on what the recent DfE publications mean for your school and your practice
Guidance on what an ambitious, consistent curriculum looks like across all phases
A fresh perspective on why KS3 matters more than most curriculum conversations acknowledge
Understanding of what a curriculum looks like when its shaped by psychological safety and inclusion
Practical actions you can take back to your school or trust
Who should attend?
- Headteachers, senior leaders and trust leaders
- Curriculum leads and subject leaders
- Teachers across all phases
- Governors and trustees
- Anyone committed to a curriculum that is ambitious and built for every child

Mary Myatt

Mary Myatt has shaped curriculum thinking in schools across the UK for years. A former teacher, local authority adviser and inspector, she has helped thousands of schools think more carefully about what they teach and why through her work with Myatt & Co and the Huh Academy. Her books include The Curriculum: Gallimaufry to Coherence and Huh: Curriculum Conversations Between Subject and Senior Leaders.
