In the simplest terms, ‘curriculum’ is a description of what, why, and how students should learn within schools. However, in reality, it includes so much more. Effective curriculum planning is an ongoing process of reflection, evaluation, and adaption, ensuring it meets the needs of every learner.

This one day in-person conference offers an invaluable opportunity for school leaders, educators, and curriculum specialists to collaborate, exchange ideas, and explore strategies for creating a broad and enriching curriculum.

The conference will explore how we can design learning that prepares every young person for future life and work. Sessions will focus on ensuring high standards for all pupils, giving schools and teachers the space to innovate beyond the curriculum, and equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and experiences they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Attendees will benefit from insights shared by leading practitioners, academic experts, and fellow educators from North East schools, centred around the vital topic of curriculum development. The Schools North East annual Curriculum Conference also serves as an excellent occasion to connect with peers across the region, creating a community of shared best practice.
