How do we measure the quality of our curriculum?

At Harris Academy Riverside we carefully and systematically measure, monitor and improve the quality of our curriculum - that means its design and the strength of its implementation by teachers and others - so that our students receive a continuously improving educational experience.

We have defined key factors which we believe determine the quality of our curriculum. Teachers, planners, subject leaders, senior leaders and governors all contribute to the process of monitoring and improving the quality of the curriculum based on these key factors. A document showing the key factors by which we measure the quality of our curriculum can be downloaded from this page.

Investment in our curriculum

We also invest heavily in our curriculum, ensuring that we have the best qualified and experienced teachers we can find, providing an environment and resources conducive to professional development and buying in to supplement our expertise, experienced and exceptionally well qualified external consultants.
