What does curriculum consistency look like in practice? For Tom and his team at @academy_fortis, one of the most immediate changes after implementing Science Mastery was greater consistency across classrooms, helping to ensure all students received a high-quality science education. This is the first video in our new AC+ Partner School Perspectives series, where school leaders share the impact of working with Ark Curriculum Plus programmes.

What does inclusion look like in secondary science? Science is a hierarchical subject, so new learning depends on secure prior knowledge. An inclusion‑first approach sequences practical skills carefully, reduces cognitive load through using a “slow practical” approach, and weaves in the maths understanding students need to engage confidently with scientific concepts. These approaches help every student understand not just what they’re doing, but why. Explore the science guidance in our Inclusion‑First Curriculum Guide: ow.ly/LX9150ZLVv6
