Curriculum and Assessment Review

We are young people and a group of leading youth organisations, united by a determination to support the inclusion of children and youth perspectives in the Government’s Curriculum and Assessment Review.

Young people have not felt included in the Government Review and we are set to change that by running our own youth-led review, shadowing each step of the government Review.

Specifically the shadow review will seek to deliver:

  1. Broad and diverse representation of children and youth voices across England
  2. Fun and inclusive ways for children and youth to share their perspectives on education
  3. A vision for education that is bold, ambitious, and fit for the challenges we face today and in the future
  4. Constructive and positive engagement with the official Panel to ensure youth voices are heard and feed into the Government Review
