Our whole curriculum overview for years 7 -13, praised by OFSTED, comprehensively covering a wide range of skills with each year group and building on them in each subsequent year. This is an example of what you could do with your own department in terms of curriculum provision. It is also an example of the sort of document that you could refer to in any meeting with an OFSTED inspector and could easily be tweaked to contain your own current provision. The last column was particularly praised where each unit of work at KS3 is clearly linked to GCSE and A Level specifications and marking criteria.
