Full details of the consultation are available on the Department for Education website. The consultation closed on 22nd November. The EPC proposed an Executive response.

The Curriculum and Assessment Review has been set up to review the national curriculum and statutory assessment system in England, including qualification pathways. It will consider children and young people’s education and experiences from ages 5 to 19.

The launching of this call for evidence is the first step in hearing evidence from stakeholders to build an understanding of the strengths of the current system and identify the areas that most need to change if we are to improve outcomes for children and young people. It will also provide insight into how the DfE can ensure that the curriculum is deliverable in a way that is consistent with manageable and sustainable workloads for education staff.
