Henry Hepburn
I am Deputy Head of News, dealing with stories on all topics, but my prime focus is curriculum and assessment. We focus on news that will be actively helpful to people who work in schools, reflecting the many pressing issues that they face.
The Francis Curriculum and Assessment Review will have a big impact on schools, with the new curriculum taking shape before implementation in September 2028, while we’ll be monitoring closely the impact of the recent schools White Paper. At the same time, AI's relation to curriculum and assessment will be a constant theme over the coming years as we grapple with the role that technology can safely play in schools.
I also produce the weekly email Scottish newsletter, keeping readers up to date with the distinct issues facing schools in Scotland.
