Curriculum Planning

The curriculum for 14-19 year olds is undergoing considerable change. These changes are in the main, a result of government initiatives to help all learners achieve their full potential. DCSF and QCA provide the policy detail and It is the responsibility of individual schools and colleges to implement these changes. This section aims to support schools to see how Triple Science GCSE can fit in to the increasing 14-19 offer young people will be able to access from 2008
