The Secretary of State for Education and Skills makes this Order in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 87(3)(a) and (b) and (5) and 210 of the Education Act 2002(1) (“the Act”).
In accordance with section 87(1)(b) of the Act, the Secretary of State considers that it is expedient to change the National Curriculum for England for the first key stage in relation to attainment targets and the programme of study for English.
The Secretary of State referred, pursuant to section 96(2)(2) of the Act, the proposal (“the proposal”) to amend the Education (National Curriculum) (Attainment Targets and Programmes of Study in English) (England) Order 2000(3) (“the principal Order”) in accordance with this Order to the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority(4) (“the Authority”).
The Authority—
pursuant to section 96(3) of the Act, on 15th January 2007, gave notice of the proposal—
to such associations of local education authorities, bodies representing the interests of school governing bodies and organisations representing school teachers as appeared to the Authority to be concerned, and
to other persons with whom consultation appeared to the Authority to be desirable,
and gave them a reasonable opportunity of submitting evidence and representations as to the issues arising; and
submitted its report on the proposal to the Secretary of State on 30th March 2007 pursuant to section 96(4) of the Act, that report containing—
a summary of the views expressed during the consultations, and
the Authority’s recommendations as to the proposal;
after submitting the report to the Secretary of State, arranged for it to be published(5) pursuant to section 96(5) of the Act.
The Secretary of State—
pursuant to section 96(6) of the Act, published on 18th May 2007 in the manner which, in his opinion, was likely to bring them to the notice of persons having a special interest in education, a draft of this Order (together with the provisions of the Document(6) (“the Document”) referred to in the principal Order and in the amendments to the principal Order made by this Order relevant to this Order), and sent copies of the draft of this Order (and the those provisions) to the Authority and to each of the persons consulted by the Authority;
pursuant to section 96(7) of the Act, allowed until 17th June 2007, being a period of not less than one month, for the submission of evidence and representations as to the issues arising;
considers in accordance with section 87(3) of the Act that the attainment targets and programmes of study for English specified in this Order are as he considers appropriate for that subject; and
now makes this Order with modifications.
1. This Order may be cited as the Education (National Curriculum) (Attainment Targets and Programmes of Study in English) (England) (Amendment) Order 2007 and comes into force on 31st August 2007.
2. The Education (National Curriculum) (Attainment Targets and Programmes of Study in English) (England) Order 2000(7) is amended as follows—
(a)for article 3 substitute the following—
“3.—(1) The attainment targets and programmes of study specified for the purposes of the National Curriculum for the first, second, third and fourth key stages for the foundation subject of English are the attainment targets and programmes of study specified in the Document as amended by this order, and it is directed that the Document as amended has effect for those purposes.
