The renewed Secondary Frameworks website is now live

The Secondary National Strategy is launching a major initiative to help teachers increase pupils' learning and attainment in English, mathematics, science and ICT.

The renewed Frameworks build on the originals which were produced in 2001 and 2002. They are based on the programmes of study for the new secondary curriculum.

The Frameworks are designed to increase pupils' access to excellent teaching and engaging, purposeful learning that will enable them to make good progress through Key Stages 3 and 4.
