England National Curriculum introduced to schools between 1989 and 1992. First statutory tests began in 1991 for key stage 1 (age 7) in English and maths, in 1993 for key stage 3 (age 14) in English, maths and science, and in 1995 for key stage 2 (age 11) in English, maths and science. Related league tables introduced between 1992 and 1996. Wales Education system in 1992 very similar to England’s but increasingly different since creation of Welsh Assembly in 1999. Scotland Education separate from England since Act of Union in 1707. There was no national curriculum but there were national curricular guidelines; some testing but no official league tables.
