© Michael Tidd, 2013 www.primarycurriculum.me.uk New National Curriculum DFE English, Maths and Science are the building blocks of education –improving our performance in these subjects will be essential. In Maths there will be greater rigour. There will be a greater emphasis on arithmetic, and the promotion of efficient written methods of long multiplication and division. There will also be more demanding content in fractions, decimals and percentages. In Science there is a stronger focus on the importance of scientific knowledge and language and a greater emphasis on the core scientific concepts underpinning pupils’ understanding. For the first time primary aged children will learn about evolution and inheritance.

© Michael Tidd, 2013 www.primarycurriculum.me.uk New National Curriculum DFE The proposed English programmes of study will embody higher standards of literacy. Pupils will be expected to develop a stronger command of the written and spoken word. Through the strengthening of the teaching of phonics pupils will be helped to read fluently. The study of languages is compulsory in Key Stage 2. Replace the current ICT curriculum with a new computing curriculum with a much greater emphasis on computational thinking and practical programming skills.

© Michael Tidd, 2013 www.primarycurriculum.me.uk New National Curriculum DFE It is essential to distinguish between the statutory National Curriculum and the whole school curriculum. All schools must provide a curriculum that is broadly based, balanced and meets the needs of all pupils. Academies and Free Schools have the freedom to depart from the National Curriculum. All schools must teach religious education at all key stages and secondary schools must provide sex education. In other subjects and key stages we are aiming to give teachers more space and flexibility to design their lessons by focusing only on the essential knowledge to be taught in each subject.

© Michael Tidd, 2013 www.primarycurriculum.me.uk How St. John’s has approached the curriculum change. All staff were involved in identifying strengths in previous curriculum that we wanted to keep. Creative cross curricular topics, church school distinctiveness, celebration of diversity, emphasis on development of whole child (not just academic), giving children opportunities to succeed, purpose and excitement about learning.
