Key points to look for
If you're in an independent school, your curriculum requirements look different. See the section at the end of this article for more information on what your school needs to do. You'll also find questions 2 and 3 in the '3 key questions to challenge the policy' section relevant to your setting.
For maintained schools and academies, it's not a statutory requirement to have a curriculum policy, so they'll vary greatly (even for some schools within the same multi-academy trust).
In the section below, we suggest how a curriculum policy may be organised and the type of content which might be included. It's not meant as a guide for writing a policy, as that's down to your SLT, but it can help you when it's time to review your school's policy.
