What is the National Curriculum?

The National Curriculum is the agenda for teaching and learning in schools. It establishes the subjects taught and the knowledge, skills

and understanding required for each subject. It also sets standards for each subject, outlining targets that children should be encouraged to

achieve. Additionally, the National Curriculum determines the assessment methods that are used to measure children’s progress.

Schools have the opportunity to choose how to best teach the National Curriculum to their pupils, and to create their own lesson plans and

learning methods according to their pupils’ individual requirements.

The National Curriculum is determined and developed by the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency (QCDA). The QCDA

is part of the Department for Children, Schools and Family. As well as setting the National Curriculum, the QCDA arranges assessments,

exams and tests, and makes decisions about the qualifications that pupils can take.

Congratulations Julia Gillard! I have waited 30 years for this. In the last decade of my career, I finally feel as though politicians have

taken a proper interest in education. Now my hope is that we can lose our fear of genuine and worthwhile content in courses.
