With a wide-ranging review of the national curriculum in full flow and rapid (possibly irreversible) change happening across the whole education system there has never been a more pertinent time to ask: Does the curriculum have a future?

This day-long inquiry conference, suitable for school leaders, teachers, and advisers, will be an exciting opportunity to learn about the current state of the government’s review and the possible shape and scope of the new curriculum. It will also provide a valuable forum for professional discussion on the challenges and opportunities of the new curriculum and school restructuring.
