  1. Implementing the 2014 National Curriculum An update for staff [school name] [date]

  2. The National Curriculum • New National Curriculum: published July 2013 • In 2010, the government announced that it would review the National Curriculum to focus on "essential knowledge and concepts" 1 with the aim to "ensure that the new National Curriculum embodies rigour and high standards and creates coherence in what is taught in schools." 2 • 1 Department for Education, The Importance of Teaching (The Schools White Paper), November 2010, p40 • 2 Department for Education, Reform of the National Curriculum in England (Consultation Document), February 2013, p3

  3. The National Curriculum • Key information: • The programmes of study for English, mathematics and science are set out in yearly, or two yearly (for key stage 2 English) blocks. Key stage 2 is divided into Lower (Years 3 and 4) and Upper (Years 5 and 6) in these subjects. • ICT will be replaced with computing, which will put more emphasis on practical programming skills. • Foreign language will be compulsory at key stage 2. • The new National Curriculum Framework includes introductory sections on inclusion, developing literacy and mathematics across the curriculum and a new section on developing vocabulary. • There will be no guidance or training from the Department for Education on how to plan or teach the National Curriculum.

  4. Assessment • • The current system of ‘levels’ will be removed and will not be replaced. • • Key stage National Curriculum tests will remain, including the Year 6 English grammar, punctuation and spelling test. • • The current National Curriculum will continue to be tested up to and including the summer of 2015. Pupils in Years 2 and 6 will continue to be taught the previous National Curriculum in English, mathematics and science in the period 2014 to 2015. New tests will be introduced in 2016. • • The phonics element of the new English programme of study for reading will be assessed using the phonics screening check for Year 1. • • Ofsted’s inspections will be informed by whatever pupil tracking data schools choose to keep and end of key stage assessments, as well as the phonics screening check results for Year 1.
