The secondary curriculum review
Flexibility and opportunity are at the heart of QCA's secondary curriculum review - flexibility in teaching subjects, and opportunities for young people to gain the knowledge and skills to succeed in learning and life.
On this website, you can find out about and comment on the proposals for the new curriculum at key stages 3 and 4. We have also included supporting materials to help schools to implement the proposals and refresh their curriculum planning. You can take a quick tour of the website here.
A modern curriculum needs to focus on what young people learn and on how they learn and experience their subjects. It needs to show how subjects link together and to a clear set of aims for the curriculum. You can explore ways to refresh and renew the curriculum in the section curriculum lenses.
Schools can already tailor the curriculum to meet the needs of their young people. Some are doing this, others have asked for further advice on personalising the curriculum and approaches to assessment. You can find this in the section organising the curriculum.
To look at the revised programmes of study, visit the subjects section. Here you will find additional material on the range and scope of each subject.
The consultation on this review runs until 30 April 2007. We want to hear about the areas that inspire you and will take the curriculum forward and those aspects that might be improved. To find out more about the review and comment on the proposals and supporting materials visit the section tell us your views.
