There is to be a review of the primary and secondary National Curriculum in England. The Department for Education has launched a ‘call for evidence’ – the closing date is a week today, the 14th April 2011.
The 51 page response form is rather overwhelming, but you don't have to fill in every section. It is important that as many people as possible respond to this call for evidence and that the voice of those who care about creativity, and 21st century skills is heard.
On the 15th and 16th March CapeUK brought together cultural, creative and educational leaders from across the region to discuss, debate and contribute to the National Curriculum Review – Call for Evidence. Additionally on the 3rd March CapeUK hosted a session in Salford in partnership with the Arts Learning Consortium (ALC) to discuss their collective response to the Call for Evidence.
The Cultural Learning Alliance have produced some handy tips for filling in the form which can be viewed by clicking here
We also recommend the Think Pieces and detailed research on each area of the curriculum review on the Coalition for Education’s website
We hope this will be of help as you construct your individual and organisational responses.
