Even though a review of the national curriculum is being carried out it will be over two more years before it is implemented. But there are many things that we can do right now to make our own school's curriculum better while removing the straitjacket of the national curriculum. This session will focus on how to make learning more exciting and teaching more rewarding, which benefit our pupils immediately and can be incorporated into the new national curriculum when it is announced.

This session will describe some of the ways in which those who lead schools, services and other settings have been proactive in taking on new roles, shaping the way their provision is moving forward, finding innovative ways of balancing the budget, and creating new partnerships both within and beyond the education service, in order to meet the needs of all their pupils.
