The Curriculum Programme Pilot. Research Report
UK Department for Education
In January 2018, the Department for Education (DfE) committed £7.7 million over five years to the Curriculum Fund, to help teachers deliver the more challenging National Curriculum introduced in 2014, while reducing the workload associated with curriculum planning and resourcing. As part of the Curriculum Fund, the DfE set up the curriculum programme pilot, a £2.4m grant allocated to piloting complete curriculum programmes. These are packages of resources designed for teachers to deliver a National Curriculum subject across a key stage. Eleven lead schools successfully applied to run two-term pilots, with seven being funded from January 2019 and four from April 2019. Two of the April start lead schools delayed delivery of their curriculum programmes in participating schools until September 2019. This report presents the final findings of the research. [CooperGibson Research (CGR) was commissioned to carry out a study and prepared this report.]
