Interesting read Christopher. There is a lot here that is pragmatic and purposeful. Would you mind me throwing you a few questions / provocations, all of which are a genuine attempt at discussion and challenge, and in no way pointlessly antagonistic? 1/2

Go for it. Happy to chat.

No particular order sorry - Do we need to distinguish geography as a stand alone subject, right through the primary curriculum? For geography, read any of the humanities subjects.

The essence of the above is… Is it ‘geography per se’ that we need or is it geographical knowledge, skills and experiences?

Q2 - In your experience, is it curriculum design or pedagogy that schools use as a priority tool for a) impressing Ofsted and b) securing better outcomes for learners.

Q3 - You pose the above (a&b Q2) as a paradox - Do you think we are comfortable enough in the uncomfortable, in school leadership… particularly when it comes to realising curriculum policy in practice?

2/2 as context: previously worked in curriculum design & development and currently pulling together doctoral research on role of leaders in realising curriculum policy, in practice.
