Embracing global learning in your school

How can we ensure our new-look curriculum is local, national and international and helps our pupils to understand their place in the world? Fiona Aubrey-Smith reports on the work of some schools.

With the new year comes the new curriculum; an opportunity to be bold and brave in the ways that we challenge and support learning. 

Many schools across SSAT’s Primary Network have used this opportunity to explore and extend learning beyond that required by the new curriculum, finding innovative and exciting ways to glue together new and existing subject content.

Our new curriculum is not just about implementing the changes that have been made by government. It is about linking our local school curriculum with the new national curriculum, and ensuring that it all connects together in such a way that reflects the real-world, international, global, context that our children live in. We have a local, national, international curriculum.
