Notice Title

Curriculum programme pilots research

Notice Description

Expressions of interest are sought to conduct research with teachers and heads of subject in schools piloting complete curriculum programmes. This research will help the Department understand how best to develop and implement curriculum programmes across different subjects, key stages and school settings; and to establish their potential to reduce workload and improve pupil outcomes. We are proposing a mixed method approach comprising an online survey, in-depth telephone interviews and focus groups. Research will be conducted across two stages during the pilot: stage 1 (January - March) and stage 2 (June - July). Further details can be found on the attached EOI advert.
