To support change management

‘The national curriculum is just one element in the education of every child. There is time and space in the school day and in each week, term and year to range beyond the national curriculum specifications. The national curriculum provides an outline of core knowledge around which teachers can develop exciting and stimulating lessons to promote the development of pupils’ knowledge, understanding and skills as part of the wider school curriculum.’ p6

Establishing the vision

Think about your current school curriculum.
What would you not want to change because you know it contributes to strong learning and progress?

Aims of the new curriculum
‘The national curriculum provides pupils with an introduction to the essential knowledge that they need to be educated citizens. It introduces pupils to the best that has been thought and said; and helps engender an appreciation of human creativity and achievement.’

Every state-funded school must offer a curriculum which is balanced and broadly
based and which:
promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society, and
prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.

What will be the same and what will be different?

Subsidiary guidance – Ofsted September 2013
‘The majority of the national curriculum is being ‘disapplied (i.e. suspended) from September 2013 for one year in order to give schools the freedom to change what they teach in order to prepare for the new NC. …Whilst schools will still have to teach the NC subjects, what they teach will be up to them…Disapplication is a permissive measure – no school will be required to change what it teaches until September 2014’
Teachers will still have to teach the NC for English, maths and science to pupils in Y1,2,5 and 6 in 2013/14 . This is to ensure they are sufficiently prepared for NC tests in KS1 and KS2 in summer 2014.

Assessment Proposals
national curriculum levels removed and not replaced
schools determine their own approach to formative assessment and progress tracking
end of KS2 SATS to be more demanding with an expectation that 85% pupils achieve and are considered “secondary ready.” 85% will be a floor standard
baseline to measure progress maybe from YR or from KS1 dependent on outcome of consultation

a scaled score will be used to report and compare pupils attainment against the national cohort.
Report to parents example:In the end of KS2 reading test Sally received a
scaled score of 126 (the secondary ready standard is 100) placing her in the top 10% schools nationally. The average scaled score for pupils with the same prior attainment was 114, so she has made more progress in reading than pupils with a similar starting point.

Staying the Same Post 2016:

end of KS2 SATS (although no L6 tests) national sampling of science phonics screening check use of statutory data testing at the end of KS1
