CUSP Lead Schools
What is a Lead School Visit?
A Lead School Visit is an opportunity to see CUSP in action in a school where the CUSP practice has been quality assured. These schools have woven the principles and practices of CUSP throughout their vision and their curriculum. We work with them to host a day where you can visit lessons, talk to teachers and leaders about their CUSP journey, see pupils’ learning and hear directly from pupils themselves during Pupil Book Study.
Lead School Visits follow a timetable which allows schools to experience a variety of subjects across the primary age range. They are not bespoke to schools or MATs so you will have the opportunity to meet colleagues who are on a similar journey.
All communication around Lead School Visits is managed by CUSP Operations so please email curriculum@unitysp.co.uk for more details.
We ask you not to contact the schools directly as they will refer you back to us.
Booking a visit
Our lead schools are amazing but as you can appreciate they do have a limit to the dates they can offer and the number of visitors they can accommodate. We request that visiting schools are limited to a maximum of two staff. Places are allocated on a first come first served basis so please do select a second choice in case. We cannot guarantee that there will be a space on the desired visit you select.
