Firstly, it gives you and your subject leads the confidence that you are delivering a well sequenced curriculum.
Ofsted have described our curriculum as being ‘highly ambitious… [with] absolute precision in what pupils will learn from Nursery to Year Six.’ [Hunningley, Outstanding, March 2023], and ‘Learning is well sequenced so that pupils learn important knowledge and vocabulary in the right order.’ [Silverdale, Good & Improving, June 2022].
Secondly, it supports teacher wellbeing and workload by providing high quality and pupil-friendly resources. Teachers no longer have to trawl websites or create resources from scratch – the United Curriculum allows teachers to just focus on how they should adapt the resources to meet the needs of their class.
Finally, it helps to ensure that every pupil is given access the same important knowledge and content – including when lessons are being covered by short- or long-term supply teachers.
Please note: The United Curriculum for Primary gives you a high-quality curriculum intent that you can adapt for your local content. It also provides you with the tools to implement it effectively – but no one can replace the teachers in your classrooms, and it is up to you to deliver the maximum impact.
