With the new school year coming, schools throughout the country are preparing for many changes. The nation is undergoing changes to the curriculum, testing and school administration methods. The changes, while meant to improve education, will take time for schools and families to adapt.
Here are some of the major changes that will be impacting every school across the country:
1. Curriculum and Assessment Review
Led by Becky Francis, the report aims to make the national curriculum more appropriate for modern times. The changes focus on preparing young people to address the civic and economic needs of our country by providing them with the skills and knowledge needed. More here.
2. Ofsted Framework Review
Ofsted’s inspections will be changing to include education inspection toolkits, identifying state-funded schools causing concern and many more. They are also considering including report cards to give parents and carers more detailed information than the current reports. More here.
3. Amendments to the Education Bill
The Education Bill will also bring about large changes to schools by increasing accountability and leadership throughout the sector. These changes have the potential to transform how decisions are made and the way schools relate to the community. More here.
Despite all of these national changes, schools must remain focused on their priorities and the needs of their students. Parents will also play a critical role in assisting schools during this transitional period, ensuring that education and welfare for the children remain top priority.
