believe every child has the potential to be extraordinary. In

our secondary schools, we pride ourselves on our innovative approach to

curriculum design, to ensure all our schools have breadth and ambition for all

students, regardless of their starting points and barriers. Standard curriculum

models don’t always engage all students, so we constantly seek to innovate and

provide better opportunities to develop both knowledge and skills for life. We

want our students to believe their curriculum is bold, exciting, purposeful,

and ultimately leads to something meaningful for them. Some examples of our

innovation include moving towards a trust wide approach to enrichment and

competitions, to provide a world class enrichment programme and more opportunities

for essential skills like reading and cultural capital. We are also introducing

vocational and technical pathways, which run through the normal school

curriculum but attract support from leading employers and universities to

develops work-readiness in our students, so that they can progress onto T

Levels and apprenticeships. We

are currently at an exciting point in their evolution, with collaboration at

the heart of our collective endeavour. We don’t operate in silos: we value the

power of the pack and strive to collaborate as a collective, ensuring no school

or colleague is left behind. We are currently co-constructing an aligned

curriculum across all EBacc curriculum subjects, to create a world class

curriculum, rich in powerful knowledge and skills. This is driving up standards

through the sharing of the very best practice, whilst allowing each school

sufficient flexibility for autonomy to do what is right for their local

context. A by-product of this approach has been the reduction in planning

workload for colleagues, meaning they can spend more time on the things that

matter and fostering strong relationships with pupils and delivery of the

curriculum. Shaw
