The new curriculum for KS.2 is divided into three sections. The first two can be analysed alongside the aims and objectives of SC1: Scientific Enquiry in the old curriculum (see Table 1). The third section – Programmes of Study (see Table 2) – can be compared directly with the old PoS.

The tables below list the learning objectives from both the Curriculum 2000 programmes of study and those from the new curriculum. Changes or additions are added in the third column and the changes to learning objectives are highlighted in red (see the Word & Pdf copies).
