Parents unaware of big changes to National Curriculum

Big changes to the National Curriculum come into force this September, but 62 per cent of parents are completely unaware, says Explore Learning.

Apart from free schools and academies, the national curriculum has been revised to introduce more complicated concepts to much younger children.

Carey Ann Dodah, Head of Curriculum at Explore Learning says: “The new curriculum is a response to the feeling that England is slipping behind their international competitors and so there are some drastic changes which for most children and parents will appear more challenging. Many concepts in maths and English will be introduced earlier which will feel like quite a jump when children return to class in September.”
