The National Curriculum
The National Curriculum lies at the heart of government policies
to raise standards. It sets out a clear, full and statutory entitlement to
learning for all pupils. It determines the content of what will be taught, and
sets attainment targets for learning. It also determines how performance will
be assessed and reported. The focus of this National Curriculum is to ensure
that pupils develop from an early age the essential literacy and numeracy
skills they need to learn. More...
The National Curriculum Handbooks
The two handbooks in this series are essential reading for all primary and secondary teachers in England. They set out the legal requirements of the National Curriculum for pupils and provide information to help teachers implement the Curriculum in their school. The format of the handbooks is based on the style of a working document/resource pack and includes programmes of study and attainment target levels.
