What’s new
*Curriculum and Assessment Review *
Spanning from Key Stage 1 through to Key Stage 5, the Curriculum and Assessment Review [ https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/curriculum-and-assessment-review?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] will look closely at the key challenges to attainment for young people, and the barriers which hold children back from the opportunities and life chances they deserve – in particular those who are socioeconomically disadvantaged, or with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).
The review is seeking the views of young people, parents, teachers and leaders, education experts and employers on the strengths and weaknesses of the current system and how it can be improved.
As such, the call for evidence [ https://consult.education.gov.uk/curriculum-and-assessment-team/curriculum-and-assessment-review-call-for-evidence/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] launched today – we encourage you to take part and share your views and insight, based on your own experiences, by filling in the survey before the deadline on 22 November 2024.
*Share your views* [ https://consult.education.gov.uk/curriculum-and-assessment-team/curriculum-and-assessment-review-call-for-evidence/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ]
As well as the call for evidence [ https://consult.education.gov.uk/curriculum-and-assessment-team/curriculum-and-assessment-review-call-for-evidence/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ], there will be regional roadshows, sector roundtables, polling of parents, and expert panels, across the next few months, to ensure the review is informed by a diverse range of perspectives. Read more [ https://www.gov.uk/government/news/national-conversation-on-curriculum-begins?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ] about the consultation and it’s role in the review.
*A message from the Chair of the Curriculum and Assessment Review, Professor Becky Francis CBE*
P Becky Francis
““Understanding your views and the evidence and experiences that underpin them will be crucial in informing the review. We have deliberately kept questions as open as possible, and welcome responses from all those interested: young people, and their parents, teachers, lecturers, education leaders, subject experts, researchers, employers and others. ”
“The curriculum represents our society’s collective investment in conferring our precious knowledge and skills for the younger generation, so that they in turn may flourish as individuals and as citizens that build our civil society and economy. It is right that we all have a say.” ”

Helpful resources and guidance
*Reminder: Flexible working*
We have published non-statutory guidance alongside a flexible working toolkit, which includes practical resources to help school leaders to implement flexible working and to support school staff to request it. We have produced these resources in partnership with school leaders and other sector experts.
*Flexible working toolkit* [ https://www.flexibleworkingineducation.co.uk/dfe-toolkit?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ]
We are also delivering a programme focused on embedding flexible working in schools and trusts. This includes supportive webinars and peer support provided by flexible working ambassador schools and trusts. Webinars cover a range of topics including timetabling and making a flexible working request.
