Special Measures and Our World

A NEAD Project

Special Measures and Our World aimed to explore how the introduction of a greater global dimension into the curriculum of a large secondary school could enhance teaching and learning.

The Hewett School in Norwich was the largest secondary school in Norfolk. In December 2004 it was placed in . As a result of past contacts, we were approached by some Hewett teachers to explore how we could help them to develop teaching and learning at the school and see how this might help the school get out of Special Measures.

Although the school subsequently came out of Special Measures, NEAD staff continued to work closely with Hewett teachers to devise and trial lesson plans and schemes of work initially for Citizenship but thereafter in other curriculum areas.

This project was funded by Oxfam and the East of England Development Education Network (EEDEN).
