Huh is the Egyptian god of endlessness, creativity, fertility and regeneration. He is the deity Mary Myatt and John Tomsett have adopted as their god of the curriculum. Their
Huh series of books focuses on how practitioners design the curriculum for the young people in their schools.
The
Huh project is founded on conversations with colleagues doing great work across the education sector. In
SEND Huh, Mary Myatt and John Tomsett discuss curriculum provision for pupils with additional needs with some of the leading experts in the field.
Mary and John interviewed pupils, parents, teachers, headteachers, CEOs, educational consultants and lecturers. They then edited the transcriptions of those interviews to provide an ambitious, thoughtful, nuanced and challenging vision of what the best possible provision looks like for children with additional learning needs.
The challenging conversations that comprise
SEND Huh paint an inspiring picture that is hugely hopeful for the future of SEND curriculum provision in our schools.
