Arba Anafim Consulting

For Schools

Curriculum & Evaluation

Designing and auditing

A curriculum should answer three questions. What are we teaching, why this and why now and how do we know it landed. This is where you become able to answer all three with confidence, including to an inspector.

What I can offer

  • Build a Jewish Studies or Religious Studies curriculum from first principles.
  • Audit what you already have and identify gaps, repetition and dead weight.
  • Align provision across schools or phases so pupils build rather than repeat.
  • Prepare leaders, staff and documentation for a Section 48 inspection.
  • Turn inspection recommendations into a sequenced plan of work.
  • Evidence pupil wellbeing outcomes alongside attainment data.

“He understands that a good curriculum needs intellectual substance, but also that no child has ever been inspired by a beautifully formatted scheme of work sitting in a folder.”

Why Arba Anafim is different

Curriculum consultants usually come from one side of the table or the other. I have written the schemes, taught them and inspected them under Section 48. That means the curriculum you end up with is designed to be taught by real teachers, not only to read well in a document.

The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second-best time is now.

Curriculum work rewards being started early. A short conversation now is worth a great deal later.
