Wroxham Primary School QCDA
Click on the link above to read this short report, which was written following a half day visit to Wroxham Primary School in Potter’s Bar, Hertfordshire.
The visit was completed as part of a curriculum research probe commissioned by QCDA in year 3 of the Building the Evidence Base for a C21st Curriculum project. Wroxham is a Creative Partnerships School of Creativity and the headteacher has been an active member of the Curriculum Evidence Advisory Panel (CEAP), an influential group that coordinates evidence gathering processes and identifies areas for partnership working. The visit was intended to answer the question: In schools that are successfully developing the curriculum, how are the changes required by curriculum innovation being managed by school leaders? During the visit, interviews were held with the headteacher and the deputy headteacher and a year 3 teacher who is also the lead for science.
