Curriculum and Assessment Review in England
What is the Curriculum and Assessment Review?
In 2024, the government commissioned an independent panel to review the curriculum and assessment system in England. The review called for education professionals, stakeholders, community leaders and parents to submit evidence to the consultation process.
As experts in children's literacy, we responded to the call for evidence and compiled a series of initial recommendations.
In November 2025, the final independent Curriculum and Assessment Review was published, alongside the government's response.
