The National Curriculum is a complex document, setting out how the education system in the UK should run. Everyone from parents and teachers to careers need to be intimately familiar with how it works if they want the children in their lives to succeed. One reason why the document can be difficult to understand is how it breaks down the subject matter. Each Key Stage represents several years, which correspond to different ages. Thankfully, examining each stage on its own makes it easier to comprehend the National Curriculum. This course breaks down the National Curriculum into its individual parts. We begin by giving you a brief overview of the material covered. Next, we talk about each stage on its own, telling you what you need to know to help the children you know succeed at each stage. Finally, we talk about other compulsory material that must be covered.
