Identifying the opportunities for collaboration between STEM subjects to develop a thematic approach to the KS3 curriculum

Science, technology and mathematics teachers at Tendring Technology College had already collaborated across departments and wanted to develop these links further by adopting a thematic approach to the curriculum. The Key Stage 3 curriculum was reviewed to identify areas to embed a STEM philosophy into the lessons of all students, rather than this being an add-on for students who have shown an interest in extra-curricular trips and events. These curriculum areas were put into a work-related context and partnerships with local businesses were sought.
