To consider the connection between school philosophy and planning

Aim

To consider the connection between school philosophy and planning.

Evidence and reflection

Look at a statement of the values and ethos of the school (often found in the school handbook). To what extent are these values reflected in the curriculum planning structure of the school?

Extension

Based on the statement of school values, prepare a paper for a governor’s meeting discussing either:

How the school’s values are reflected in the curriculum planning structure.

or

How the planning structure might be adapted to better reflect the values of the school.
