The role of subject leaders in curriculum design has been put front and centre in the new Ofsted framework and is a particular challenge for primary schools. In this workshop, Anthony David will look at the subject leader role, including what is expected from a modern subject leader and what Ofsted’s expectations are of subject leaders when it comes to inspecting a school’s curriculum.

The session will also consider the subject leader’s monitoring role, including lesson visits, book scrutiny (where appropriate), classroom environment, pupil voice, reporting to governors – all the the context of curriculum intent, implementation & impact. Other areas of discussion will include managing CPD, directed time and digital evidence.

In this session Anthony will draw upon the middle leadership handbook that his schools have developed as well as case studies of curriculum development and subject leadership from both schools.
