At the chalk face: Curriculum and Assessment Review - PART 3 | CAR2025
This week, together we’re going into part three of our deep dive into the recent Curriculum and Assessment Review.
If you’ve missed parts one and two — where were you?!
We've already broken down the huge 250-page report and the government’s hefty response into something humans can actually understand.
🎓 Today, we're unpacking the big one: the NEW Progress 8 and Attainment 8 model.
It looks subtle at first glance… but trust us, the implications for computing, science, creative subjects, humanities, and the whole curriculum are huge.
In this episode we cover:
🔹 What the new buckets look like
🔹 Why computing may be in a slightly awkward place
🔹 How creative subjects finally get some love
🔹 What this all actually means for schools, teachers, and option choices
