Why curriculum reform? 1 Proportion of qualified people at all levels in UK is too low- job needs high 2 In East Riding too few achieve Level 3, standards and progress need to be higher 3 %5ACEM too low – level 2 ceiling 4 FSM learners and SEN/LLDD learners underachieve 5 Urgent need- more varied (personalised) curriculum routes with better match to learner needs 2

Context New Government- new directions 14 Diplomas available- only last three have gone BTECs and wider range of Occ/Voc Ed will stay Free market approach to qualifications likely Optional ‘entitlement’ likely in future legislation iGCSE NC reform QCDA gone- Exam boards only New Academies chose their curriculum 3

Expectations No school/provider can deliver the entitlement alone Partnerships still essential for high quality pre and post 16 curriculum offer- our strength All should still roll in FL, Diplomas alongside GCSE/GCE (managing reduction in route), though other qualifications can stay Entitlement curriculum currently remains in law for providers and LAs 5
