Curriculum, standards and assessment

To help you raise standards and encourage all pupils to reach their potential and enjoy their studies, there are plenty of free resources and lesson plans available via the Internet. You can also go online to check what you need to be teaching, what you may teach in addition, and to make the most of the flexibility and breadth within the curriculum for each subject.

For Foundation Stage information see the Sure Start site.

Teachers of primary-age pupils should see the Standards Site.
