Curriculum: Public Consultation
Asked by: Matt Bishop (Labour - Forest of Dean) Wednesday 10th June 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether her Department plans to launch the Curriculum and Assessment Review Programmes of Study consultation in summer 2026. Answered by Georgia Gould - Minister of State (Education) The national curriculum and GCSEs are being updated for the first time in over a decade, with a public consultation on the draft programmes of study and subject content for the first group of GCSEs opening this September. The revised curriculum will be published next spring, with support to begin first teaching in September 2028. The first updated GCSEs will be taught from September 2029. The expertise, insight and experience of the education sector will be vital in shaping these reforms, and we look forward to working together throughout the process. |
