Everyone from parents and teachers to carers need to be intimately familiar with how it works if they want the children in their lives to succeed.

Description

One reason why the document can be difficult to understand is how it breaks down the subject matter.

Each Key Stage represents several years, which correspond to different ages. Thankfully, examining each stage on its own makes it easier to comprehend the National Curriculum.

This course breaks down the National Curriculum into its individual parts. We begin by giving you a brief overview of the material covered.

Next, we talk about each stage on its own, telling you what you need to know to help the children you know succeed at each stage.

Finally, we talk about other compulsory material that must be covered.

You Will Learn:
  • Which years and ages are associated with each Key Stage
  • Information about the Early Years Foundation Stage and Sixth Form
  • Which specific subjects are covered under the National Curriculum
  • When testing is performed and what kind of tests are administered
  • Details about other compulsory subjects, including Sex Education and Religious Education
Benefits of Taking This Course:
  • Learn more about when you can expect teachers to start introducing homework
  • Understand which subject materials are mandatory for all students
  • If you are a carer or involved in early childhood education, understanding what is taught at the primary school level can help you enrich your own lesson planning to better prepare the children in your care for year one
  • If you are interested in becoming a teacher, learning more about what you can anticipate as you teach children in each stage
  • If you are a parent, learning more about what your child is learning in school and how you can help encourage success

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
