20. Requirements for Boards of Trustees
Each board of trustees, through the principal and staff, is required to develop and implement a curriculum for students in years 1 – 13:
that is underpinned by and consistent with the
principles set out on page 9;
in which the values set out on page 10 are
encouraged and modelled and are explored by
students;
that supports students to develop the key
competencies set out on pages 12 – 13.

Revisit this final slide in more detail. What does ERO say about how schools are implementing each of the principles?
