The disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic to children's educational experience during the past year presents a number of challenges for schools, with clear implications for our curriculum design, planning and delivery from September. But what are the key considerations and how can we avoid the deficit model of "catch-up at all costs"? In this workshop, we will hear about how Bede Academy has prepared its primary curriculum in order to meet these challenges.

Assistant Vice Principal Paul Tallent will present a series of curriculum considerations in light of the on-going disruption to teaching and learning, touching upon issues such as prioritising key knowledge, maintaining a broad curriculum, and avoiding overcrowding. Importantly, these considerations will be presented alongside the action steps that Bede Academy has followed and intends to follow from September. Paul will also share some of his experience of adapting the school's curriculum over the past year and lessons learned going forward.
