Product reviews for Reclaiming the Curriculum

In the current climate of political, economic and educational chaos Reclaiming the Curriculum gives many insights into the innovative ways that children can be enthused and encouraged to enjoy and succeed within the constraints of a narrow and often prescriptive core curriculum. Children who are fed a diet of Core subjects in order to achieve high SATs results are deprived of a broad and balanced curriculum. This excellent book illustrates just how schools can reclaim the curriculum by thinking outside the box. With the many examples of differing circumstances and socio economic backgrounds, children can enthuse and enjoy the learning process. This book is a Road to Damascus revelation and shows how head teachers who have the courage of their convictions can attain the highest outcomes for their children. Not to be missed! Should be in every staffroom.
