Leading Aspect Award
The Creative Learning Journey is an innovative, exciting approach in which the curriculum is used to help children develop along a skills and attitudes continuum. This framework offers a starting point for schools in making the change from an existing curriculum to this new way of planning.

Times Educational Supplement
'I have found the holy grail. It is in a far corner of south London called Bexley, and it shines like a beacon. It is already attracting pilgrims from across the land. Called the Creative Learning Journey, it is a more natural way of learning, say the teachers involved. The children like it too.'
Diane Hofkins, TES Primary Editor,
Ofsted/Bexley Council
Bexley Primary Head Teachers have led the development of this nationally significant curriculum development. The Creative Learning Journey promotes a more creative approach to learning whilst placing a central focus on basic skills development and raising standards.
