Primary National Curriculum 2014
•Draft form since September 2013
•All maintained schools in England had to begin
teaching the new curriculum in September 2014.
•The staff in the federation schools prepared and
planned for the new curriculum throughout last
academic year.

Primary National Curriculum 2014
Two exceptions to the teaching of the
new curriculum for this year only:
•Current Year 2 pupils
•Current Year 6 pupils
These pupils will be taught the pre-2014
curriculum objectives still for this year in
English, Maths and Science.
These pupils will sit the Key Stage 1 and
Key Stage 2 tests in May 2015.
Primary National Curriculum 2014
The curriculum framework states that:
‘Every state-funded school must offer a curriculum which
is balanced and broadly based and which:
•promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and
physical development of pupils at the school and of society
•prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities,
responsibilities and experiences of later life’
The school curriculum comprises all learning and other
experiences that each school plans for its pupils. The
national curriculum forms one part of the school
curriculum.
Primary National Curriculum 2014
All schools should make provision for personal,
social, health and economic education (PSHE),
drawing on good practice.
All schools are also required to make provision for a
daily act of collective worship and must teach
religious education to pupils at every key stage.
Schools are also free to include other subjects or
topics of their choice in planning and designing
their own programme of education.
Primary National Curriculum 2014
How is the curriculum organised?
•The curriculum is organised into 4 Key Stages- Key
Stages 1-4. In our Primary schools we cover Key Stage
1 and Key Stage 2.
• The curriculum has 12 subjects, classified in legal
terms as ‘core’ and ‘other foundation’ subjects.

The New National Curriculum is broken down
into the following areas:
Spoken Language
Reading (Word Reading and Comprehension)
Writing (Spelling, handwriting, composition
and grammar/punctuation)
Spoken language is not defined by year groups
but a set of principles which should be
embedded into all subjects and for all children
in years 1-6. It builds upon the spoken
language elements from Reception Year.
There is a greater emphasis upon drama, poetry
and performance for a variety of audiences.
Phonics and phonological awareness is still strongly
emphasised particularly in the Early Years and Key Stage
1 and where necessary for Key Stage 2 children. Word
reading is an important part of the curriculum.
There is still a Year 1 phonics screening.
There is greater emphasis upon the reading of poetry as
part of the wide range of texts children should be
exposed to.
We as a school still strongly believe that there is a place
for children both reading to you as adults and being
read to as children.

■Children and young people who do not
achieve expected levels of literacy are
likely to be from disadvantaged
backgrounds.
■14% of children in lower income homes
rarely or never read books for pleasure.
■Only 1 in 5 parents easily find the
opportunity to read to their children.
■Parents are the most important reading
role models for children and young people.
(National Literacy Trust, Reaching Out with
Role Models, April 2009)
■10 to 16 year-olds who read for
pleasure do better at school. (2013
research by Dr Alice Sullivan and Matt
Brown from the Institute of Education)
■Reading for pleasure is more important
for children's cognitive development than
their parents' level of education. (2013
research by Dr Alice Sullivan and Matt
Brown from the Institute of Education)
There are spelling lists for each year group
which are available to take away today.
Spelling forms part of the SPAG test for year 6
pupils and will form part of the testing
process for Year 2 children from 2015-2016
academic year.
Children should be taught spelling rules and
there is also a need for children to write
dictated sentences.

There is a need for children
to know grammatical terms
used when reading and
writing so that they can talk
about their writing and the
writing of others.
For example, children will
need to know:
• The use of terms such as
conjunctions (NOT
CONNECTIVES), adverbs,

Children in Year 2 and
Year 6 will still sit the
end of Key Stage 1 and
Key Stage 2 government
tests.
This current school year
children will sit the old
style papers which
cover objectives from
the previous national
curriculum.

become fluent in the fundamentals of mathematics, including

problems over time, so that children develop a deep understanding
and are able to recall and apply knowledge rapidly and accurately.

relationships and generalisations, and developing and argument,
justification or proof using mathematical language.
can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of
problems with increasing difficulty, including breaking problems
down into a series of simpler steps and persevering in finding
solutions.

Greater focus on the skills of arithmetic.
• Year 1 – To be able to count to 100 instead of 20.
• By the end of KS1 children should be able to use simple fractions (½ and
¼)
• By the end of KS2 children should be able to convert decimals fractions
to simple fractions (e.g. 0.375 = 3/8)
• By the end of Y4 – children will be expected to know their times tables
up to 12 x 12.
A move to more formal calculation methods in KS2.
We have developed new calculation polices in line with the new curriculum,
these will be made available on each of the school’s websites.
Calculators will not be introduced until near the end of KS2 to encourage
mental arithmetic.



National Curriculum tests are compulsory for children at the end of
Year 2 and Year 6. Informally known as SATs.
The new National Curriculum tests will take place each summer from
2016.
Where previously these tests and other teacher assessments were
graded in levels (usually numbering between Level 1 and 6) from
2016 the tests will be reported as a scaled score with a score of 100
representing the expected level for each year group.
Year 2 tests
 short arithmetic test of 15 questions.
 second paper of broader mathematics which will last around 35
minutes.
Year 6 tests
 Arithmetic test of approximately 30 minutes.
 2 broader mathematics tests of 40 minutes.
If you child is achieving well, rather than
moving onto the following year groups
work we will encourage a more in-depth
and investigate work to allow for more
mastery and understanding of concepts.
KIRFs - Key Instant Recall Facts
KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts) support the development of the
arithmetic skills that underpin much of the maths work in schools.
Children should know these thoroughly and be able to recall the
facts instantly for their year group. By helping to develop these skills
your child will be more able to access other areas of the maths
curriculum such as calculation methods, problem solving and
reasoning.
Each half term your child will be given a new KIRF target to practise.
The KIRF targets have been updated to match the new curriculum.
A copy of the KIRF target grid will also be made available on each
schools website.
