A practical, research-informed guide to leading primary curriculum from vision to classroom practice, enabling coherent, high-impact learning across every layer of a school.
The primary curriculum underpins every pupil’s learning – but how can leaders ensure it is translated into powerful classroom practice? And how can implementation be shared and sustained across staff?
Leading Together, Teaching Better by Adam Kohlbeck is a practical guide to navigating the journey from primary curriculum vision to classroom reality. Drawing on leadership experience and research, it shows how design, implementation and evaluation connect, and how educational responsibility can be passed across teams with clarity and purpose.
Grounded in real-world examples, the book offers a coherent framework for building a curriculum that truly reflects a school’s ethos. In this book you will find:
- Clear guidance on how curriculum leadership fits together
- Practical strategies to build coherence from vision to practice
- Real-world examples and professional perspectives
- A framework for sharing leadership across roles.
Insightful and grounded, this book will empower all school leaders to drive meaningful curriculum change.

It makes something deeply complex feel wholly achievable. -- Sufian Sadiq * Chief Talent and Transformation Officer, Chiltern Learning Trust *
