At the chalk face: Curriculum and Assessment Review - PART 1 | CAR2025

The biggest shake-up in education for a decade is here! 🚨

The Curriculum and Assessment Review (CAR) has landed – and it’s a whopper!
180+ pages of proposed changes that could redefine how we teach, assess, and support learners across the UK from ages 5 to 18. But don’t worry, Craig and Dave have done the hard work so you don’t have to.

In this episode of At the Chalkface, we break down what you really need to know — the key headlines, timelines, and takeaways from both the CAR and the Department for Education’s response.

We’ve pulled together a summary that highlights what we believe are the most important takeaways for teachers — with a particular focus on those teaching Computing.

You’re welcome to download it and use it however suits you best; we hope it proves useful.
