National Curriculum Update for Schools
What is happening now?
A final draft of the National Curriculum was published on 8th July. A final opportunity for consultation closes on 8th August. All details can be found
here.
What is happening from September 2013?
From September 2013 the majority of the existing National Curriculum programmes of study, attainment targets and assessment arrangements will be disapplied and no longer compulsory. This will apply to all subjects and year groups except English, Mathematics and Science for pupils in Years 1, 2, 5 and 6.
The curriculum from September 2014 will be significantly different and it has considerable implications for you and your school. It is not just what you have to teach (National Curriculum), but what you need and want to teach (basic and local) to meet the needs of your children and the local community.
The new National Curriculum will be available to schools in the Autumn term 2013 (the DfE has not specified a date), ready for teaching to begin in September 2014.
