Peterborough Curriculum Case Study: Bishop Creighton Academy and Peterborough Cathedral

Bishop Creighton Academy partnered with Peterborough Cathedral to construct a programme of work which complemented and enhanced the National Curriculum. This project revolved around the production of a 'Question Time' style event in which members of the inter-faith council and the school council sat on a panel and answered questions from the audience of Year 4 and 5 students.

In 2010 we recruited schools in Peterborough to pilot this approach to curriculum development with the aims of:

• Creating learning experiences that were engaging for children from all backgrounds.

• Increasing children’s understanding of and attachment to the place where they live.

• Embedding schools more deeply within their communities and localities.

This report recommends the following:

• Creating learning experiences that were engaging for children from all backgrounds

• Increasing children’s understanding of and attachment to the place where they live

• Embedding schools more deeply within their communities and localities.
