Abstract | This article reflects on the epistemological steamrolling that the 2021 Ofsted Curriculum Research Review (OCRR) accomplishes: in part, by the positioning of the problem and solution through highly selective cherry-picking (omitting key causal factors); in part, through the discursive move of acknowledging complexity before offering simple and apparently axiomatic conclusions; and in part, through recourse to static, technicist metaphors of linear progression such as 'building blocks' and 'sequencing.' It is the author's view that teachers need to be trusted by being given more space and more opportunities to expand what they can offer pupils in their immediate and regional contexts, with an important investment in resources for training and subject development within a framework of guidance and collaboration rather than prescription. "Ambition," from the author's perspective, means ensuring that the General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is "more" demanding, not less, but that its demands are adequately scaffolded in earlier phases. Linguistic challenge needs to be supported by a sustained interest in the content. (ERIC). |
