The CUSP curriculum is well established in the UK and internationally. CUSP is guided by evidence-led curriculum structures, such as retrieval, spaced retrieval practice and interleaving. It is underpinned by explicit vocabulary instruction and research-focused pedagogy. Combining these has led to exceptional outcomes for young people, as a result of coherent curriculum design and instructional teaching.

At Unity, we value our people, and we have developed a strong culture of collaboration and best practice.You will be part of our trust’s senior leaders’ network and will have development opportunities at regular intervals including our leadership events and other trust opportunities.
