Please note a second edition is now available, updated for 2025/26. Head, Hand, and Heart contains a new introduction about future-proofing your curriculum, and a new chapter about making your curriculum inclusive.

Intent is all the planning that happens before teaching happens.

Implementation is how those plans are translated into classroom practice to facilitate long-term learning.

Impact is how curriculum planning, teaching and learning, and learner progress and outcomes are measured – not least the extent to which learners are prepared for the next stage of their lives.

Taken together, therefore, the ‘3Is’ provide a framework for designing, delivering and evaluating the school curriculum to ensure it is ambitious, broad and balanced, planned and sequenced, and inclusive.

Based on his bestselling trilogy, School & College Curriculum Design, updated and abridged, this new book from renowned curriculum expert Matt Bromley is your complete guide to providing a high quality education.
