<p>Maintained schools in England are legally required to follow the National Curriculum
as a piece of statutory guidance.</p><p>Within a broad statutory framework, schools
have considerable flexibility to organise the content and delivery of the curriculum
to meet the needs of their pupils.</p><p>In addition to meeting their statutory duties,
schools are also free to include additional subjects or topics they deem relevant
for their pupils, as part of the school’s wider curriculum.</p><p>Academies and free
schools have greater freedom and autonomy in how they operate for areas such as the
curriculum, but they are expected to teach a curriculum that is comparable in breadth
and ambition to the National Curriculum.</p>
