The phrase 'middle schooling' refers to the school setting for
students generally between the ages of 11 and 15 years. There are
calls for reform to address the learning and engagement of these
students. This research evaluates the reform of one Australian
school's curriculum structure through their implementation of a
vertical curriculum. Research methodology takes the form of
attitudinal questionnaires administered to parents, students and
staff in the college. Quantitative analysis using descriptive
statistics is used to look for differences between the parent,
student and teacher attitudes towards the philosophy and delivery
of the vertical structure reform. Results revealed that parents,
students and staff were all supportive of the new structure and its
driving philosophies, although parents scored significantly higher
on the scales examined than staff or students. Overall the outcomes
of the vertical curriculum to engage students in their learning
were met through this reform. A number of areas were also
identified as needing improvement, with areas of emphasis differing
for the parent, staff and student groups in the community.
