A strong curriculum is the foundation of great teaching and learning.

At Prestolee MAT, we work with schools to design and refine curriculum models that are ambitious, inclusive and tailored to the needs of pupils and their communities. We believe every child deserves access to a broad and rich curriculum that builds knowledge, develops skills and prepares them for a future full of possibilities.
