Webinar Overview:

The UK education system is at a crossroads. As society evolves, there is growing recognition that the national curriculum must be more inclusive, relevant, and future-focused. Traditional subject boundaries and content often fail to reflect the lived realities of young people, especially those from marginalised communities.

This webinar explores how and why the curriculum needs to change—decolonising content, diversifying voices, embedding critical thinking, and preparing students for a complex and interconnected world. It brings together educators, curriculum specialists, and young people to discuss what a modern curriculum should look like—and how schools can drive meaningful reform from within.

Ideal for:

• Teachers, heads of department and curriculum leads
• Senior leaders and school governors
• Education policy makers and local authority advisors
• Youth development organisations and educational charities
• Equality, diversity and inclusion officers in education
• Parents, advocates and community education partners
  
  

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding what it means to ‘modernise’ or decolonise the curriculum
• Examining whose histories, cultures, and contributions are centred—and whose are erased
• Exploring curriculum gaps around mental health, relationships, digital literacy, and critical thinking
• Learning from models of inclusive, skills-based, and culturally responsive education
• Addressing structural inequality through curriculum reform—not just behaviour policy
• Practical tools for reviewing, adapting and co-producing curriculum content
  
  

Additional Benefits:

• Hear from students and educators who are championing change in their schools
• Learn how inclusive curricula can close attainment gaps and improve engagement
• Discover collaborative models for curriculum design with communities and learners
• Understand the wider policy context and how schools can advocate for systemic change
  
  

This webinar is essential for educators and changemakers who want to see a curriculum that represents all learners, prepares them for the future, and equips them with the skills to shape a fairer, more just society.
