More details on the Cultural Education Plan will be published shortly, including the Expert Advisory Panel and the Terms of Reference for their work. The Government has already implemented significant reforms to raise expectations in terms of what all pupils are taught and how schools are held accountable, and we do not plan to make further changes to the National Curriculum or performance measures in this Parliament. We value the work of teachers and schools in responding to these changes and as such these matters are out of scope of this Plan.

The Cultural Education Plan will highlight the importance of a high quality cultural education and the important role that wider cultural institutions can play by working with schools.
