Primary curriculum

Ministers confirmed on 7 June 2010 that they will not proceed with the last Government’s proposed new primary curriculum, which was based on a review led by Sir Jim Rose. The new curriculum was due to be taught in schools from September 2011, but the relevant clause in the Children, Schools and Families Bill did not successfully pass through the last Parliament.

Information about the new primary curriculum has been removed from this site.

The statutory requirements that schools must meet in relation to the National Curriculum can be found at http://curriculum.qcda.gov.uk/key-stages-1-and-2/index.aspx.
