In this resource, you will find a task designed to help you prepare for an English head of department interview. Specifically, this is a task using a fictionalised curriculum model. You are asked to explain how you would improve the model taking into account a 5 year curriculum.
The task also asks you to consider curriculum intent and pupil entitlement to run alongside it. During an interview, you may be asked to complete an in tray of this nature, but you may also be asked to explain your thoughts and theories on curriculum intention and implementation - so this practice model/task is a great way to think about the changes you’d make to a curriculum you have never seen
