They have more autonomy with the National Curriculum, but do have to ensure that their curriculum is broad and balanced, and that it includes the core subjects of English, maths and science. They must also teach relationships and sex education, and religious education. They are fre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
