Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to support access to a broad curriculum for state pupils.

​The government has established an independent Curriculum and Assessment Review, chaired by Professor Becky Francis CBE. The Review wants to ensure a rich, broad, inclusive and innovative curriculum that readies young people for life and work. It is also looking 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.

​The Review’s final report and recommendations will be published shortly with the government’s response.
