The Government's Curriculum and Assessment Review gives us and the wider sector the opportunity to share our views on how curriculum and assessment can bring together a love of learning with fundamental knowledge and skills.
Here’s where you’ll find our insights and recommendations to support this important conversation.
The Curriculum and Assessment Review is an important milestone for education and skills in the UK – and it’s just the beginning.
We’re looking forward to continuing to bring changes to life that can make the greatest difference to students and those who teach them.
As we turn recommendations into action, we’ll keep collaborating with educators, students, partners and sector experts to drive manageable and truly impactful change.
We welcome the Review’s support for our recommendations and remain committed to building an education system that champions teachers, empowers learners, and drives the UK’s long-term success.
During the Review, we shared a range of suggestions with the panel and government – from the need for subject and qualification reform, to the importance of key skills, pathways and innovation.
All of the recommendations we made were inspired by our work with schools and colleges across the country. Together, we’ve already kickstarted important conversations and shaped what the future could look like.
Today, the DfE published the outcome of their review of post-16 qualification reform. The aim of the review was to determine which qualifications will be funded for 16-19 learners in England for the 2025/26 academic year.
We’re pleased to have contributed to the Government’s call for evidence as part of the Curriculum and Assessment Review. Joining the voices of other sector experts, educators, parents/carers and learners, we've shared our research, experience and recommendations with the panel.
Today, we’re sharing a summary of key points from our submission, where we set out our recommendations for how meaningful change can be brought about.
Pearson’s Managing Director of School Assessment and Qualification, Sharon Hague, penned an article about efforts to broaden the curriculum for Schools Week recently.
Her article discusses the importance of creating a broader curriculum without waiting for the outcomes of the Curriculum and Assessment Review. While dramatic curriculum changes might grab attention, lasting progress is more likely to come from steady, incremental adjustments.
