‘Children are engaged by learning that develops and stretches them and excites their imagination. They enjoy the richness of their learning – not just learning different things, but learning in many ways; out of doors, through play, in small groups, through art, music and sport, from each other, from adults other than teachers, before school, after school, with their parents and grandparents, formally and informally, by listening, by watching and by doing.’

‘Outstanding schools offer rich, exciting programmes of learning. Their school curriculum – developed and taught through the professional abilities of the leadership team, and each teacher and teaching assistant in the school – gives each school its own distinct identity and ethos, which reflects a good understanding of, and close partnership with, the wider school and community. Excellent schools are themselves learning places – the staff learn and develop, and the curriculum changes and improves over time. They use all the resources available flexibly and imaginatively, especially their staff.’
