At the chalk face: Curriculum and Assessment Review - PART 2 | CAR2025
Welcome back to Craig & Dave at the Chalkface as we dive into part two of our CAR trilogy.
The biggest shake-up in education for a decade is here! 🚨
The Curriculum and Assessment Review (CAR) has landed – and it’s a whopper!
180+ pages of proposed changes that could redefine how we teach, assess, and support learners across the UK from ages 5 to 18. But don’t worry, Craig and Dave have done the hard work so you don’t have to.
All good things have a sequel — and the Curriculum & Assessment Review is no different.
This time, we're zooming in on what the review (and the government’s official response) actually means for computing.
We break down the big headlines so you don’t need to plough through 281 pages of curriculum detail and 61 pages of government jargon. From shrinking key stage teaching time, to the future of GCSE Computer Science, to AI literacy and digital skills becoming national priorities — we unpack the lot.
Here’s what we’re getting into:
💡 Why only 10% of schools teach computing to all KS4 pupils (and why that’s a problem)
📉 The squeeze on teaching hours at KS3 & KS4
💻 The end of GCSE Computer Science as we know it — and what the new broader GCSE in Computing might look like
🔗 Cross-curricular computing skills: why computing won’t (and shouldn’t) sit alone anymore
🧠 Digital literacy vs. media literacy — what’s changing and where it should live
🤖 AI literacy is becoming essential for every pupil
⚖️ The split opinions across the teaching community — and why both sides have a point
