Subject case studies


The case studies in this section cover all subjects in the national curriculum. They are real examples of good practice from schools across the country and show how teachers are valuing diversity and challenging racism.

Teachers may find these activities useful and adaptable to their own subject. Many of the subject activities refer to national curriculum subject materials, the national curriculum inclusion statement and/or QCA/DfES schemes of work, which can be accessed from this page.
