10th Anniversary of the Primary School Curriculum

Learning and Growing

Celebrating 10 years of the Primary School Curriculum (1999)

For the tenth anniversary of the curriculum we invited schools to share some of their successes with us. We invited them to contribute captioned photos and school stories of the curriculum in action. We received hundreds of inspirational images and some great stories that provide a snapshot of how children's learning is taking place in primary classrooms throughout the country. 

You can read through the stories by clicking into the interactive content link above. If you would like to print or download any of the stories, select the relevant link below.
