The International Primary Curriculum
Description
When a Birmingham primary headteacher realised that most of her pupils had never left their neighbourhood, even to see the city centre a few miles away, she decided to introduce the International Primary Curriculum. All teachers at the Warren Farm Primary in the Kingstanding area of Birmingham believe the new curriculum began to broaden the perspective of pupils and also started to revive achievement and aspiration. Its cross-curricular and thematic approach proved a great success in engaging pupils of all years while its emphasis on parental involvement also helped highlight the value of education in a community dogged by long term unemployment.
