About Curriculum Forums
The SWIFT Curriculum Forum brings together curriculum leaders that have responsibility for building curriculums in schools and trusts. Curriculum Forums are termly events that cover four aspects of curriculum:

• Design: exploring models and approaches to curriculum design, including the implications of Cognitive Science
• Content: exploring approaches to prioritising curriculum knowledge and content
• Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: exploring how leaders ensure these values are enshrined across curriculum development
• Leadership: implementation, inspection and beyond.

Forums are split into a Part A which features keynotes speakers and is relevant to all schools and Part B where delegates can choose to attend a range of workshops on offer.

Part A - Keynote Speakers
Kat Howard | Leading Principles for Curriculum Development
In this session, Kat will share key insights as part of her work with schools and Trusts to create the conditions that enable meaningful curriculum development. Colleagues should expect to take away practical strategies to undertake in-house curriculum review and supportive processes to ensure that all staff consider how their everyday work has implications for the effectiveness of the curriculum.

Dr Marlon Moncrieffe | Approaches to Decolonising Curriculum Knowledge
Marlon will share his research work concerning decolonising curriculum knowledge (primary school history curriculum aims and contents). He will also discuss his engagements with UK Parliament and the House of Commons Education committee in sharing this work.
