I have heard back from Ofsted's Seam Hartford about its forthcoming curriculum review, and about whether the public could take part. \u00a0His letter said:<\/p>\n
\"The current phase of this work is focused on gathering evidence about the curriculum on the ground. \u00a0We are conducting visits around the country to build our understanding of what is happening in primary and secondary schools, and colleges. \u00a0We are drawing on research evidence and expertise to help us frame this work. \u00a0At this stage, however, our questions are for schools, rather than the public. \u00a0This is why we are not yet inviting comment through our website. \u00a0Once we have evidence to share, we will be publishing it and inviting comment from anyone who is interested in this area of work.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
No timescale was suggested, and so those \"interested\" will\u00a0just have to keep looking at the website. \u00a0It's worth reminding ourselves that it's not just a question of being interested in the curiosity sense, as we all have an interest, ie, a stake, in what is taught (and not taught) and why. \u00a0I suppose I am a bit surprised that special visits have to be made to \"build\u00a0understanding\" of curriculum, but I guess that's a reflection of what a neglected area it all is these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
