The Church of England Vision for Education is based on Educating for Wisdom, Knowledge & Skills; Hope & Aspiration; Community & Living Well Together and Dignity & Respect. Each of these areas has key implications for the development and implementation of our curriculum –
- How could our curriculum design reflect the symbiotic relationship between knowledge and wisdom?
- What does hope and aspiration really look like in practice in relation to social justice?
- How might character education be seen as fundamental to the pursuit of academic excellence as we seek community and living well together?
- To what extent might dignity be seen as a pre-cursor to learning and progress, and affect our approach to ability grouping?
Equally, the new Ofsted framework requires schools to think deeply about the ‘Intent’ of the education they provide, and increased opportunities for middle leaders to articulate a vision-driven approach to the curriculum.
This conference will be a wonderful opportunity to reflect on these core issues, to hear from leading national and international thinkers, and to network with colleagues from across the country – empowering us all to design, develop, implement and teach curriculum that grounded in Wisdom, Hope, Community and Dignity.
