Recently, we had the pleasure of attending a highly informative training session led by Alex from Focus Education on the topic of "Ensuring Your Curriculum is Progressive." This session was perfectly timed (integrated into our normal staff meeting time), for both our new and existing staff members as we embark on a new academic year, providing invaluable insights and strategies to enhance our curriculum offer.

The session sparked great food for thought amongst our curriculum team, empowering us to critically assess and refine our educational approaches. Moreover, we greatly appreciated the follow-up link and resources shared with us for those unable to attend. This ensures that all staff can access and benefit from the key takeaways, making the experience inclusive and beneficial for everyone.

As always, we are grateful for the ongoing support from Focus Education in helping us develop and enhance our curriculum offer. Their expertise is instrumental in our journey towards delivering a progressive and impactful educational experience for our Lenthall Learners.

I found the golden threads and the links really useful.

The host was very nice and very professional he covered the topics really thoroughly. I found Session 1 - Action planning, Session 3 - Mid-year review, and Session 6 - Evaluating progress most useful. It was good to be able to discuss plans etc with others.

Thank you for a wonderful course. I found session 4 on Monitoring and Feedback really useful.

Thanks for being detailed and thorough! Session 4 - Monitoring and feedback 2 and Session 6 - Evaluating progress was most useful for me. Breaking down steps of assessing data was really useful.

This is such a purposeful, solution-focussed book. I love how it looks at each strand of literacy and outlines ‘typical development’ in each strand. Then explores responsive strategies to the possible barriers to learning in that strand.

Just want to say a massive thank you for today. We have all thoroughly enjoyed the inspirational way that you delivered your vision on how our curriculum should and could be designed. Everyone was saying that this is exactly what we need as a school going forward. I've already been asked if they can start dipping into things before September which is great to see. As an SLT we are feeling really excited about our curriculum journey.

Attended this and also watched the video - great course, very informative, amazing speaker
