How to design a knowledge-rich curriculum from scratch

There’s nothing a brilliant curriculum can’t do. It can even help transform an undersubscribed school in special measures into a school that’s ‘good’ and oversubscribed – as Cassie Young found out. Here she explains, step-by-step, how to create a brand new curriculum to increase inclusion and continuity, and give pupils confidence and cultural capital. Learn how to make sure your curriculum suits your pupils’ needs, and how to embed it using knowledge organisers and a curriculum wall.
