Currently, elementary educational curriculum reform has been widely carried out all over the China.

School-based curriculum development is in the process of independent research and development within the school curriculum. It aims at developing the students’ individuality and find out the curriculum catering to students’individuality development. With the reform of new curriculum deepening, people is paying more and more attention to the development of school-based curriculum. Every school set out to make up its own school-based curriculum which is suitable for the development of schools and students. However, traditional teaching is always attaching attention to marks. Meanwhile, educational workers just pour knowledge into students’ mind blindly, but ignore the development of the students’ ability, let alone, to cultivate the students’ emotional attitude and cultural accomplishment. School-based curriculum development to a certain extent, can change the current situation, and promote the school characteristic teaching, teachers’ professional development and students’ personality development. Therefore, school-based curriculum development is the inevitable outcome of the curriculum reform and development, which meets the needs of social development. Consequently, it has far-reaching practical significance.This paper studies the present situation of the development of school-based curriculum with the method of questionnaire investigation, interview and case analysis as well as refering to English school-based curriculum "The Beauty of Xinyu" development process of Xinyu No.1Middle School. And I find that:school-based curriculum has played an important role in arousing students’interest in study and promoting their marks; School-based curriculum development is a process where teachers are main implementers, and multi-party participation and support is in need.
