For generations, parents have found themselves visiting
primary schools with their children only to hear themselves
saying, “It’s not like when I was at school.” Things change
quickly in education, and at no time in the past 25 years
has that been truer than September 2014 when the whole
school curriculum changes for maintained schools throughout
England.
This guide is intended to support parents of primary school
children. Obviously it would be impossible to set out in detail
everything your child would learn during their six years of
statutory primary education, but by providing an outline of
typical content and some background information about
how the curriculum and assessment works, hopefully it will
help parents support their children in making the most of their
education
