Shining a light on curriculum

Curriculum is at the heart of everything we do

We're working with schools, teachers and experts in education to understand the principles of an effectively-designed curriculum and create the very best resources and tools to help deliver it. From 'off-the-shelf' courses that promote a broad and balanced curriculum to a bespoke curriculum created using intelligent planning tools, we can support you through the planning, implementation and evaluation.

  • Josie Warden, Volans - why designing and engineering with purpose is essential for Gen Alpha

    It’s a warm Thursday afternoon and the air in the D&T classroom is stuffy. I’m designing packaging for a shoe brand, pen on paper, with my Body Shop canvas bag stuffed under the desk. It’s 2001 and I don’t have a mobile phone. My idea of being a designer is to work in graphics or in fashion. I know that designers create things, products, packaging, buildings. But I also know that there is too much waste, people are going hungry, and that global warming is being mentioned. What are my studies in design and other subjects teaching me about changing that? Honestly, nothing really.

  • Have we seen the death of data?

    James Pembroke, Data Analyst at Insight/Sig+, analyses the changes and impact of assessment, post-COVID, on schools and pupils.
