The Department has allocated over £15 billion since 2015 to keep schools safe and operational, including £1.8 billion in the 2023/24 financial year. This is informed by consistent data on the condition of the school estate. In addition, the School Rebuilding Programme will transform buildings at 500 schools over the next decade, prioritising schools in poor condition with evidence of potential safety issues. The Department has announced 400 schools to date, with 239 announced in December 2022, including Parklands Primary School in Romford constituency.</p><p>Havering Local Authority has been allocated a school condition allocation of £2,521,988 for the 2023/24 financial year to use in maintaining and improving the condition of its school buildings.

tabling member constituency	Romford

uin	189176
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2023 answer text <p>The National Curriculum is a framework setting out the content of what the Department expects schools to cover in each subject. The curriculum does not set out how subjects, or topics within the subjects, should be taught. The Department believes teachers should be able to use their own knowledge and expertise to determine how they teach their pupils, and to make choices about what they teach, and what time they provide for teaching specific topics.</p><p>As part of a broad and balanced education, all pupils should acquire a firm grasp of the history of the country in which they live, and how different events and periods relate to each other. That is why the history curriculum, taught in maintained schools for Key Stages 1 to 3, sets out, within a clear chronological framework, the core knowledge that will enable pupils to understand the history of Britain from its first settlers to the development of the institutions that help to define British national life today. The revised history curriculum taught in maintained schools from September 2014 placed a greater emphasis on pupils being taught British history in a clear chronological way rather than as a series of isolated and unrelated events. At Key Stage 3, the vast majority of the statutory themes are focused on British history.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 21/06/2023 10:51:00 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	189177
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2023 answer text <p>Maintained schools in England are legally required to follow the National Curriculum as a piece of statutory guidance. Within a broad statutory framework, set out in subject specific programmes of study, schools have considerable flexibility to organise the content and delivery of the curriculum to meet the needs of their pupils. Academies and free schools have greater freedom and autonomy in how they operate areas such as the curriculum, but they are expected to teach a curriculum that is comparable in breadth and ambition to the National Curriculum. Many choose to teach the full National Curriculum to achieve this.</p><p>While schools have the flexibilities described above, it is important that if a shortened Key Stage 3 is implemented, pupils are nonetheless taught a broad and balanced curriculum.</p><p>The Department does not collect data on how schools organise the content and delivery of the curriculum, and therefore does not hold data on what proportion of schools deliver Key Stage 3 over two years.</p><p>Ofsted’s Education Inspection Framework has a strong emphasis on ensuring schools provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all their pupils. Ofsted’s Schools Inspection Handbook notes that if a school has shortened Key Stage 3, Ofsted inspectors will look for evidence that the school has made provision to ensure that pupils still have the opportunity to study a range of subjects, commensurate with the National Curriculum, in Years 7 to 9.
