The Curriculum and Assessment Review: implications for pupils with SEND
A year-long process of reviewing the National Curriculum and writing recommendations for its development has now concluded with the Curriculum and Assessment Review Final Report released on 5th November 2025. The Review aimed to ensure that ‘the curriculum appropriately balances ambition, excellence, relevance, flexibility and inclusivity for all children and young people’. The focus on inclusion has brought great hope for teachers and parents of a brighter future for those with Special Educational Needs. This session gives an overview of some of the changes and dives into what these changes should mean for pupils with SEND.
