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.

    That’s why we’ve been using a range of methods to research how different learners with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) experience digital assessments. The findings can help us better understand if, where, and how technology can enhance accessibility and inclusion in exams.
