We have a wealth of experience, not just in curriculum design, but in developing outstandingly creative lessons!
We have made it our mission to improve the quality of teaching and learning and to positively change the school experience children have. We believe in an approach that uses the integration of subjects through themes to engage and ignite a passion for learning within each child. By offering schools Curriculum Consultancy we can share our knowledge with you and your staff.
We understand that not all schools can afford to, or indeed want to, buy our whole-school curriculum models. However, you may still need a little bit of advice when it comes to delivering a broad and deep curriculum. You may want to identify gaps in what is being taught, want someone to act as a critical friend or sounding board or maybe you’ve had an Ofsted inspection and your curriculum was identified as an area for development.
Well, Dimensions Curriculum can help you!
We provide a bespoke curriculum consultancy service, tailored to meet the needs of your school. We also provide TLC packages (Teaching and Learning Consultancy, of course!) that are designed to help schools improve the overall quality of teaching and learning.
We can also offer practical CPD training sessions designed to engage, motivate and inspire! These are always created and delivered in response to the needs of your staff.

The curriculum mapping day exceeded my expectations! I was impressed with the logical process that we went through, especially the curriculum audit, which clarified where we are now and gives me confidence that our new choice of curriculum will really meet our needs.
