Course Outline

This course supports English subject leaders and teachers in confidently articulating the intent, implementation, and impact of their curriculum in line with the updated Ofsted framework from November 2025. With a focus on clarity and coherence, it helps colleagues develop the language and evidence needed to explain how their provision meets pupils’ needs and reflects a well-sequenced, inclusive and ambitious curriculum.

Rooted in current national policy and priorities, including the revised Education Inspection Framework, DfE curriculum expectations, and the increased focus on inclusion and safeguarding, the course enables participants to align their curriculum narrative with the new evaluation areas and inspection approach.
