Introduction to the National Curriculum (2013)

The National Curriculum was introduced in 1988 in England, the aim of the curriculum, was to provide students with opportunities to learn the same subjects. As part of the NAtional Curriculum SATS were introduced.

Before the National Curriculum was introduced it was the responsibility of the school to decide 'how much' they wanted to teach of each subject. 

Schools that are known as 'academies' no longer have to follow the National Curriculum (2013) however they must ensure content and teaching is equivalent too. 

What is the Department For Education?

Did anyone here do an EBacc?

What was your experience like?

Spin Wheel Decider

We will use the spin wheel to randomly allocate either the National Curriculum 2013 or EYFS 2023.

You will then create an information leaflet to inform a parent of the requirements stated in your Curriculum. For example: Imagine providing your leaflet to a parent who does not know what the curriculum yet is. 

You can use chrome books for research & the textbooks for guidance.

This must be done by hand and creative!
