Curriculum Training
The national curriculum in England is more structured than many other countries' curricula and is very easy to follow, particularly in the core subjects. The main curriculum used is http://curriculum.qcda.gov.uk. The curriculum is split into four key stages:
- Key stages 1 & 2 are for primary school (pupils aged 5-11)
- Key stages 3 & 4 are for secondary schools (pupils aged 12-18)
