In some subjects, the new programmes of study prescribe very little. However welcome this freedom to determine the detail might be, many schools still feel the need for some direction and advice on how it might be implemented.
With local authorities having fewer subject specialists available to guide them, subject associations are helping to fill the void. The Expert Subject Advisory Group website is providing some support and ideas for schools as they prepare for September.
Alison Peacock, member of the strategic committee for the advisory group and headteacher of Wroxham School in Hertfordshire, describes their composition: “Membership of these groups is drawn from subject associations, higher education specialists and school leaders. They report to the Strategic Committee chaired by Jo Palmer-Tweed. A new web resource to support the implementation of the curriculum is currently under development.”
