Curriculum projects

Assisting with Curriculum Projects is perhaps the highest profile and most involving form of schools liaison and is best illustrated by examples. A series of case studies which consist of both established projects and work in progress is given below. Where those responsible for a project are still available and willing to be consulted the contact details are included as well as links to more background material if the organisers have made it available.
