The secondary curriculum review
The case studies below illustrate aspects of the curriculum that schools wanted to improve in relation to developing skills, and how they planned to achieve this. Each case study includes a profile of the school, a rationale for why that aspect of the curriculum was selected, what their priorities are and how they intend to bring about the change.
While the case studies relate to a particular aspect of skills, the plans outlined may have a positive impact on the development of qualities relating to other PLTS, functional skills, curriculum aims and the personal development framework.
PLTS (independent enquirers, self-managers) - Smoothing the path to independent study
PLTS (teamworkers, self-managers, reflective learners) - A new focus on skills
PLTS (effective participators) - Creating a sense of belonging
Functional skills - Developing real-world contexts
