You may have already been informed about the proposed changes to the KS3 curriculum due to come into effect in September 2008 and the consultation period that QCA have put in place to gauge teacher responses.  You may wish to look at the proposed changes to the KS3 ICT programme of study on QCA’s website.  The link at the bottom of the page allows you to tell QCA your views.

 I feel that it is important for as many of us to be involved as possible in order to shape the curriculum to what we believe it should be.  This period of consultation did not happen in 1987/8 during the introduction of the National Curriculum and QCA want to make sure that the changes made are in partnership with schools and teachers.  I have attached two documents that compare wordings of proposed changes to the level descriptions and to the programme of study as you may fnd them useful.
