<p>The new national curriculum, which was published on 11 September 2013, has been
developed with due regard to the views of subject experts, teachers, and the findings
of international best practice comparisons. Over 2,470 of the responses to the consultation
on the new curriculum were from individual teachers, headteachers and schools. In
response to the representations, changes were made to improve clarity, precision and
consistency of the content.</p><p> </p><p>We are confident that our reform to the
national curriculum will give teachers greater flexibility and freedom than ever before,
which will help to raise standards and expectations for all pupils. The national curriculum
has been significantly slimmed down and will free up teachers to use their professional
judgement to design curricula that meet the needs of their pupils.</p><p> </p>
