Every subject deep dive under the new framework
Meet the schools and community members who work there.
Hello, Curriculum Thinkers.
Where’s great curriculum work happening?
Who’s doing it?
How can we make it easy for you to a) meet and b) learn from them?
These three (and bit 😜) questions drive everything we do inside the Curriculum Thinkers Community.
Last week, we shared a list of 47 schools who’ve been through successful inspections, which introduced you to the members who work at them and linked you to sessions we’ve run with them.
In that post we hinted at a BIG piece of research we’ve been working on for the past couple of months that takes things to a whole new level.
Well, the wait is now over.
Here it is.
Every subject deep dive from 800+ Ofsted inspections under the new EIF
We read over 800 inspection reports and pulled out all the deep dive information.
Here’s what we found.
Between Sept 2019 to Feb 2022, 853 Secondary and 39 All-through schools have been inspected on the 2019 Education Inspection Framework (EIF).
Across all of these, we found 4057 deep-dives across conversations with subject leaders about their curriculum choices and stage of development of their department.
That is 4057, department leaders and teams, who are doing a great job, and have the experience of talking about the choices they’ve made and where they are in their curriculum development.
In this post, you can discover:
which subjects each and every school had a deep dive in 🔍

How we’re helping you learn from them
Now that we’ve answered questions 1-3a), we’re beginning to look at how we can help you learn from them.
Here’s 2 ways:
We’re making introductions between members of the Curriculum Thinkers Community - request an intro using this from (also linked next each school in the data above).
We’re organising a series of subject specific events featuring these schools and members - join our growing team event hosts and interviewers here to help us design it.
