Teaching of new secondary curriculum begins

When year 7 pupils begin their classes this autumn, they will be the first to experience the new secondary curriculum.

'The introduction of the new secondary curriculum this month is a significant milestone for education in England. The new curriculum offers real opportunities for schools to raise the aspiration and achievement of their students by making learning relevant, engaging and irresistible for our youngsters.' - Mick Waters, Director of Curriculum, QCA

This website is designed especially to support teachers in implementing the new secondary curriculum. It guides schools through effective curriculum design using the three key questions, highlights the opportunities the new curriculum offers and gives examples of compelling learning through case studies.

We wish schools and learners well as they begin this exciting curriculum journey.
