“ All the primary schools judged to be outstanding provided effective examples of pupils asking questions, speculating, making connections and reflecting on their learning” - Learning, creative approaches that raise standards, Ofsted report, January 2010
Today, the notion of primary school children learning through prescription and memorisation is frightening. In your classrooms, Ofsted expects to see innovative, creative learning environments, with opportunities for children to develop through personal experience and enquiry. In your planning, Ofsted expects to witness imagination, structure and time for reflection.
Do your lessons provide for National Curriculum content as well as creativity, flexibility and exploration?
At the Freedom in the Primary Curriculum conference you will gain expert guidance and advice on how to drive your school forward in the 21st Century to make the most of the opportunities that technology, local culture and collaborative learning has to offer your pupils. This is your opportunity to discover how a freer, more flexible primary curriculum can enable pupils to make creative links between subjects, push personal boundaries and ultimately raise levels of achievement throughout your school.
