"...it is brilliant! The deputy and I have looked at it and discussed its many strengths and uses - it has already saved us time and moved us faster forward than we would have been."
This is what Ruth Schofield, Headteacher, Blackthorn Primary School, had to say about the customised evidence route map CUREE created for her.
Ensuring that all learners get the most out of the curriculum is a tough job for any primary school and find out about your learners’ experiences will help you to get it right.

This spring equinox marks the half way point in the first academic year under the new government. It has felt to me like the world of education has been collectively holding its breath . So are we yet any clearer about what the future holds? The answer is probably ‘a bit’ at the big picture level but what about the practical details which guide school leaders’ and others’ decisions? Most school heads will know about their budgets for next year and, for some, the reality of their direct budgets is not as bad as they feared.
