Welcoming the Curriculum and Assessment Review
We believe in the power of education – and the role of the education system – to prepare all young people, regardless of background, to have successful and fulfilling futures in life, work and study.
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.
