Welcome to the Improving Disadvantaged Outcomes podcast from Chiltern Learning Trust, in association with DfE RISE.

In this episode, Henry Cross, assistant headteacher at Challney High School for Boys, shares practical insights on why curriculum design is a strategic investment rather than a time-consuming burden.

You'll learn why diversity and local history should be at the heart of your content, how to incorporate globalisation into your lessons without losing context, and how granular knowledge planning can create powerful links that make history (or any subject) come alive.

This podcast was produced by EduPulse™ in association with Chiltern Learning Trust.
