Curriculum for Governors Training

For Governors of Tameside schools only

Outline

The Quality of Education judgement draws together curriculum, teaching, assessment and standards. Ofsted have identified three different stages of curriculum development (Intent, Implementation and Impact) in which teaching, assessment and standards are all interconnected.

Ofsted expect governors to know about the curriculum and be able to talk confidently about how their school has addressed these three stages and ensured the curriculum is well planned and delivered.

What governors need to know

1. An overview of The National Curriculum

2. What the 3 phases of curriculum development involve – Intent, Implementation and Impact.

3. How governors ensure they are confident to talk to Ofsted about the curriculum and how they can be sure their school is providing a broad and ambitious curriculum.

The training sessions would include:

1. An overview of The National Curriculum

Better understanding of how the national curriculum framework is designed to help pupils to develop their knowledge and skills from Early Years to Sixth Form.

An awareness that some aspects are statutory and some are open to choice.

2. The three stages of curriculum development and delivery

All training courses are free to governing boards who have purchased our annual training package or are charged on a pay-as-you-go basis for non-subscribing Governing Boards at £125 per delegate for in-person training and £75 per delegate for virtual training.
