• 🧭 Flexible, school led narratives — LCC provides a scaffold, but it supports your school’s own story and identity
• 🔗 Golden threads & enquiry based design remain at the heart, but we weave in fresh links, strands, and approaches over time
Here’s how we keep LCC dynamic and responsive:
• 📅 Regular content reviews ensure outdated or less effective materials are refreshed or retired
• 🧰 New resource development — we don’t just update; we build new tools, materials, and approaches to broaden what schools can do
We regularly review our content and empower our team of consultants to design new resources, so that the support you receive is always growing. 📈
🔄 The Learning Challenge Curriculum (LCC): A Curriculum Built for Progress
At Focus Education, we believe a great curriculum shouldn’t be static, it should evolve, adapt, and respond to what works best for learners and teachers alike.
That’s exactly what the LCC is all about: constant evolution.

🧠 Building an Effective Curriculum for Design & Technology 🎨🔧
Design & Technology can sometimes feel like one of the trickier subjects to plan for, balancing creativity, skill progression, and real world purpose.
✨ Resilience is built, not born.
Every challenge in school leadership is an opportunity to grow stronger. 🌱
⭐ Celebrate the small victories.
⭐ Acknowledge the tough days.
⭐ Remember: progress is rarely linear, but it is always possible.
Your trust means everything to us. 💙
✅ 99% of our customers say they would recommend us.
✅ 76% are returning customers.
That’s more than numbers, it’s proof of lasting partnerships, real impact, and the difference Focus Education makes in schools every day.
That’s why the Learning Challenge Curriculum (LCC) follows a clear, research-informed progression model:
🔗 Link It
📖 Learn It
✅ Check It
🎯 Show It
🌟 Know It
This step-by-step approach maximises opportunities for pupils to know and remember more.
At Focus Education, we believe learning should be more than a single lesson, it should be a journey that sticks. 🌱
