Good English teaching must be supported by an innovative curriculum - Ofsted
13 May 2011
An Ofsted report launched today, looking at best practice in English teaching in schools, says that teaching held in check by an inappropriate or dull curriculum will not inspire pupils or generate high standards.
Each one of 12 outstanding schools inspected for the survey was found to provide an innovative or creative curriculum for English explicitly and successfully designed around the particular needs of their pupils. Excellent team work, collaboration and sharing of best practice generated a consistency of approach especially in the crucial area of the quality of teaching.
All the schools featured in the report, Excellence in English. What we can learn from 12 outstanding schools, face challenging conditions but all have enabled pupils to make very good progress in English.
