Practical training to develop ambitious, personalised AP curriculums that demonstrate clear learning, progression and meaningful outcomes.

Curriculum Development in Alternative ProvisionBuilding purposeful, personalised and progressive curriculums that meet the needs of learners in Alternative Provision.

Join us for a full-day practical training session focused on developing high-quality curriculum approaches specifically within Alternative Provision (AP).

Curriculum development in AP requires providers to balance individual learner needs, academic progress, personal development and preparation for future pathways. A strong curriculum should clearly demonstrate what learners will learn, why it matters, how learning progresses and how impact will be measured.

This session will support providers to review, develop and strengthen their curriculum offer, ensuring it is meaningful, ambitious and appropriate for the children and young people they support.
