Bringing the curriculum into cultural spaces

Democracy doesn’t require perfect equality, but it does require that citizens share a common life. What matters is that people of different backgrounds and social positions encounter one another in course of everyday life.

Curriculum (not) special projects

Teachers in charge (but supported)

Uses places and spaces of the South Bank

Technology supports but doesn’t drive

Learning, behaving differently

Regularity, familiarity

Creative curriculum

How do I cover everything in the curriculum?

• Be creative• Use progression of skills ladders to

look at how you can incorporate skills based learning in different areas.

• Teach Maths discretely to ensure coverage

• Make as many curriculum links as possible, think carefully how your project can link to all curriculum areas to make the most of it.

Informing parents and getting them on side!

• Communication with parents is key• Find a way of communicating how

and what the children are learning • Get them involved• Family learning• Show them what the Southbank has

to offer.• Don’t forget who has to pack all of

those lunches!

Staffing and CPD opportunities

• Learning for all! • Opportunities for staff to develop their knowledge and understanding• Planning with a range of different people • Staff retention and recruitment• Developing confidence• Finding new ways to improve attainment and progress
