The year-long curriculum and assessment review headed by Professor Becky Francis was tasked with looking at primary, secondary and aged 16-19 phases of state education in England. 

The publication of the 197-page report is a culmination of the input and engagement from a huge number of stakeholders from schools and colleges, children and young people, parents and carers, education staff and leaders, experts and officials who responded to the Call for Evidence, participated in polling and attended events and roundtables. 

If you are in a Hertfordshire school, trust or setting, you are invited to join the first of a series of online briefings from AEPA, the Area Based Education Partnership Association of which we are proud members, where Professor Becky Francis will be talking to school leaders about her recent work on the curriculum review and report. We are so pleased that Becky will be able to join the AEPA community so soon after the publication of the report to present and take questions.  The session will be hosted by HFL and will be opened and closed by the AEPA Co-Chairs, Dame Christine Gilbert and Baroness Estelle Morris. 

Our community of schools and settings and those of other AEPA members will have received an email with joining instructions, if you think you should have received an email and haven’t, please contact penny.slater@hfleducation.org
