Schools: Curriculum

Volume 470: debated on Tuesday 22 January 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families (1) how many schools have adopted the Opening Minds curriculum; (173812)

(2) when he will reply to question 173812, on the Opening Minds curriculum, tabled by the hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton on 10 December 2007.

We do not collect data about which approaches schools take to planning their curriculum. That is a matter for schools themselves, as long as they meet the statutory requirements. The Opening Minds website www.rsa.org.uk, however, suggests that

“there are now over 135 schools using the Opening Minds framework of competences”.
