Step back and consider the big picture
Curriculum audits tend to focus on a specific subject, area or phase. You can use our curriculum design and delivery audit tools to help you review these elements.
Once you've done this, it’s important to take a step back and look at the big picture.
We recommend you look at your intent and implementation before you consider the overall effect of your curriculum. The more detailed knowledge you have about what’s going on, the more you’ll be able to bring to the overview.
Note: while the audits linked above are designed with primary schools in mind, the whole-school audit in this article can also be used by secondary schools.
Our whole-school curriculum audit will help you to ask:
- How well your curriculum suits all your pupils
- Whether your curriculum is broad and balanced
- How ambitious and challenging your curriculum is
- How well you’re preparing your pupils for their next steps
