Why have materials been removed from the National Curriculum website?
In the Schools white paper ‘The Importance of Teaching’ published on 22 November 2010 Ministers set out their plans to reduce the amount of guidance and materials offered to schools. They believe that schools should be free to use their own professional judgement about how they teach, without unnecessary prescription. We have therefore removed non-statutory materials and guidance from the National Curriculum website and restructured the site accordingly. All material previously available is preserved on the UK government web archive.
