Mary Myatt Bücher

There are a lot of redundant processes in schools. We need to take a hard look at these and consider whether they are adding value to the core purpose of schools.

Mary Myatt and John Tomsett discuss each of the national curriculum subjects with a subject leader, providing an insight into how they go about ensuring that knowledge, understanding and skills are developed over time, how they talk about the quality of the schemes in their departments and the support they would welcome from senior leaders.

Focusing on primary curriculum design, this companion book features insights from practitioners addressing key challenges such as creating curricula for mixed-age classes, implementing cross-MAT programs, and developing a comprehensive "cradle to career" curriculum. It serves as a valuable resource for educators looking to enhance their approach to curriculum development and address diverse educational needs.

Huh is the Egyptian god of endlessness, creativity, fertility and regeneration. He is the deity Mary Myatt and John Tomsett have adopted as their god of the curriculum. Their Huh series of books focuses on how practitioners design the curriculum for the young people in their schools. The Huh project is founded on conversations with colleagues doing great work across the education sector. In SEND Huh, Mary Myatt and John Tomsett discuss curriculum provision for pupils with additional needs with some of the leading experts in the field. Mary and John interviewed pupils, parents, teachers, headteachers, CEOs, educational consultants and lecturers. They then edited the transcriptions of those interviews to provide an ambitious, thoughtful, nuanced and challenging vision of what the best possible provision looks like for children with additional learning needs. The challenging conversations that comprise SEND Huh paint an inspiring picture that is hugely hopeful for the future of SEND curriculum provision in our schools.

Following the success of the secondary-focused 'Huh: Curriculum conversations between subject and senior leaders', Mary Myatt and John Tomsett have teamed up with primary specialists to have conversations with primary teachers and key stage co-ordinators who are doing great curriculum development work.
