Curriculum EveningNovember 2015

Year 1 and 2 Mathematics

• All local authority schools are now required to follow a new national curriculum framework, as set out by the government.

• In the last academic year, 2014-15, children in Year 2 and Year 6 followed the framework of the previous curriculum, whilst other year groups moved to the new curriculum.

• From September 2015, at primary level, this requirement applies to all years from Year 1 to Year 6.

• The following slides give some examples of the statutory expectations set out in the new national curriculum programmes of study.

• These are just a summary of examples and not exhaustive lists.

• The statements are taken directly from the government’s published national curriculum framework for all local authority maintained schools.

• These are intended to give a flavour of the higher expectations now in place. All children will still need to work at an appropriate level for their individual needs.
