ABSTRACT
These pages do not contain a neat formula for producing paperwork. We believe that curriculum development is a process entailing a commitment to continuous review and renewal. We do, it is true, argue for phased renewal, so that some of the stages of the development process we describe may produce outcomes that can be formalised into carefully presented curriculum documentation which will remain in use in the long and medium terms. We also make it clear that other aspects of the curriculum planning process must remain short-term, responsive, subject to constant revision, characterised by hastily composed working papers and swift mental reactions, if they are truly to acknowledge changing priorities for individual pupils.
