Curriculum & Teaching Review
A strong curriculum is the heart of a good school. It decides what children learn, in what order, and how well it…
ExploreCurriculum Impact Evaluation
A curriculum can look strong on paper and still not work in practice. What matters is impact: whether pupils are actually learning and remembering what you intend. We evaluate the impact of your curriculum by triangulating work, pupil voice, and outcomes, so you know whether it’s really working.
What Is Curriculum Impact Evaluation?
It’s an independent evaluation of whether your curriculum is having the impact you intend. We bring together work scrutiny, pupil conferencing, lesson visits, and outcomes to judge whether pupils are learning and remembering, not just being taught.
It connects intent, implementation, and impact, giving you an honest answer to the question that matters most: is our curriculum working?
Who Is It For?
It’s designed for all education settings: maintained schools, academies, and multi-academy trusts, Alternative Provisions, and SEND Units/Hubs. Headteachers, curriculum leaders, and subject leaders use it to judge whether their curriculum is delivering.
Many schools ask for it to evaluate a curriculum they’ve invested in, prepare for inspection, or check impact across subjects and groups.
