Developing children's voices is crucial for raising awareness and empowerment, particularly in marginalized communities. It is essential that children see themselves, their heritage, their cultures, and their religions reflected and taught in schools, not as a tokenistic celebration day or week but woven throughout the curriculum.

Time to Shake Up the Primary Curriculum is a comprehensive guide on how to transform the curriculum content being taught in primary schools to better incorporate diversity into children's learning. Headteacher Sarah Wordlaw equips teachers and school leaders with the appropriate subject knowledge to deliver a curriculum that is comprehensive, inclusive, and empowering, while also providing an opportunity for current and aspiring school leaders to develop their leadership skills.

Covering history, geography, English, maths, science, and the arts, this book aims to:

• Aid teachers in becoming more inclusive and aware practitioners.
• Assist leaders in developing and implementing a whole-school strategic approach to delivering an inclusive curriculum, where everyone feels seen.
• Drive OFSTED ranking to outstanding.

It empowers and enables teachers and school leaders to remap the National Curriculum to include diverse, global topics to broaden children's understanding of their own community and wider society.

By embracing diversity in the primary curriculum, we can create a more inclusive and equitable learning environment for all children, preparing them to become responsible and compassionate global citizens.
