We’re particularly interested in hearing the views and experiences of children & young people around curriculum and assessment.
If you have a school council or pupil leadership team, coordinating a response to the call for evidence could be a really meaningful activity.

One of the best bits of this is only getting the call on a Monday. It sounds so minor but will have a massive positive impact on the wellbeing of school leaders.
