The British Curriculum Forum aims to bring together all those with an interest in collaborative curriculum, research and development.
Through events and grants, the BCF supports communication and collaboration in the study and practical implementation of the curriculum in schools, colleges and wider educational settings. Connecting schools, colleges, universities and others, our work promotes the study of theoretical, innovative and practical aspects of the curriculum, drawing on a rich history, spanning more than 50 years, and continuing the tradition of research and development founded by Lawrence Stenhouse.
The British Curriculum Forum is the successor to the British Curriculum Foundation which was incorporated into 黑料网911 in 2014. The BCF has been in existence for over 50 years (and was previously known as The Association for the Study of Curriculum).
