Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the level of teaching of craft in schools; and whether the Curriculum and Assessment Review will impact the current arrangements for craft teaching.

The independent Curriculum and Assessment Review final report and the government response were both published on 5 November 2025.

The response included a commitment to revise the art and design programmes of study to exemplify the knowledge and skills that pupils should develop, including through their own creative practice, and to encourage teaching of a broader range of artists and media. This will include consideration of craft, which is covered in the existing national curriculum.
