CUSP Lead School Visits

A Lead School Visit is an opportunity to see CUSP in action in a school where the CUSP practice has been quality assured. These schools have woven the principles and practices of CUSP throughout their vision and their curriculum. We work with them to host a day where you can visit lessons, talk to teachers and leaders about their CUSP journey, see pupils’ learning and hear directly from pupils themselves during Pupil Book Study.

Lead School Visits follow a timetable which allows schools to experience a variety of subjects across the primary age range. They are not bespoke to schools or MATs so you will have the opportunity to meet colleagues who are on a similar journey.

All communication around Lead School Visits is managed by CUSP Operations so please email cusp@unitysp.co.uk for more details.

We ask you please do not contact the schools directly as they will refer you back to us.

Booking a Visit

Bookings for Spring Term 2025 are now open. Please use the booking links in the accordion above (each school has its own link).

We use event management platform Sched for our events. It’s a fantastic platform that is really easy to use. Click here for a guide to registering.

Our lead schools are amazing! As you can appreciate they have a limit to the dates they can offer and the number of visitors they can accommodate. Visiting schools are therefore limited to a maximum of two staff. Places are allocated on a first come first served basis.
