https://twitter.com/lauralodge208/status/1508385837335130114

1) Ambitions for #english and #maths outcomes by 2030: 90% of primary children to achieve ARE in reading, writing and maths and the percentage of children meeting ARE in "the worst performing areas" to have increased by 1/3.

2) At secondary, the national average GCSE grade for both English Language and Maths to have increased from 4.5 to 5.

@educationgovuk 3) "An excellent teacher for every child": 500,000 ITT and development opportunities by 2024. NPQLL for Literacy & NPQEYL for Early Years Leadership and up to £180m investment in EYFS staff development. £30,000 starting salary and incentives to work in schools with the most need.

4)"Delivering high standards of curriculum,
behaviour and attendance": A new arms-length curriculum body (what was @OakNational) that works with teachers across the country to create optional curriculum resources to support the delivery of a "rigorous" curriculum.

@educationgovuk 5) "A richer, longer average school week which makes the most effective use of time in
school and ensures children enjoy a rounded education" - an expectation that all schools offer at least a 32.5 hour week for state-funded mainstream schools by Sept 2023 from existing budgets.

@educationgovuk 6) Guidance and case studies to be published where schools have successfully implemented a longer school day to support "the wider ambition for all schools to
consider increasing time in school where appropriate."

@educationgovuk 7) Updated plans to come later in 2022 to support sport and music education. Also a cultural education plan to come in 2023, including how to support students who wish to "...pursue careers in our creative and cultural industries."

@educationgovuk 8) Support for careers education. A new careers programme for primary schools in areas of
disadvantage and an extension to the legal requirement to provide independent careers guidance to secondary students. Also an investment in staff CPD focused on careers education.

@educationgovuk 9) No changes to the National Curriculum for the remainder of the Parliament. "We will
maintain our current system of primary assessment and world-class GCSEs and A levels." Aim for secondary assessment results to return to be in-line with those pre-pandemic in 2023.

@educationgovuk 10) New literacy and numeracy digital snapshot tests for a sample of students in Year 9 to be introduced, to estimate performance nationally.

@educationgovuk 12) Plans to assess the effect of reforms to the EYFS on practice and "...where necessary, identify ways to go
further in ensuring children are prepared for key stage 1, recognising the critical role of
early language development."

@educationgovuk 12) "Better behaviour and higher attendance through more effective use of data, including an annual behaviour survey and a national data system, to drive up attendance and make it easier for agencies to protect vulnerable children."

@educationgovuk 13) To support this there will be fully-funded access to the NPQBC. Behaviour in Schools guidance to be reviewed along with the Suspension and Permanent Exclusion guidance to provide more
practical support.

@educationgovuk 14) SEND Review to set out reforms to focus
alternative provision more closely on early intervention, "...so that more children are supported to
manage challenging behaviour and needs early, reducing preventable exclusions."

@educationgovuk 15) Support to improve attendance. Plans to create new statutory guidance and for @EEF to develop interventions and voluntary standards alongside a new national attendance tracking system.

@educationgovuk 16) Children's safety and wellbeing: Improving access to Mental Health Support Teams, strengthening RSE and KCSIE and supporting @Ofstednews to challenge off-rolling

@educationgovuk 17) Targeted support for every child who
needs it: Parent pledge so "...any child that falls behind in English or maths should receive timely and evidence-based support to enable them to reach their potential." This will be communicated with parents.

@educationgovuk 18) Schools to continue to be financially incentivised to offer tutoring for those that need it. By 2024, a "vibrant tutoring market" will have been developed with tutoring a staple of school practice, using core budgets.

@educationgovuk 19) The @EducEndowFoundn to be re-endowed to continue their work and SEND and children's social care to be reformed.

@educationgovuk 20) A stronger and fairer school system: Funding for EIAs as in the Levelling Up white paper as well as a commitment to open a number of academically-focused free schools for 16-19 in PEIAs.

@educationgovuk 21) Strong trusts to be the focus, working with at least 10 schools each. LAs to be allowed to create trusts where "too few strong trusts exist". Statutory academic trust standards to be formulated from new and existing requirements. A regulatory review is to be launched in May.

@educationgovuk 22) "We want all schools to be in or joining a strong trust by 2030 and will engage with
the sector on how best to achieve a fully trust led system."

@educationgovuk 23) Every school (including previously exempt outstanding schools) will be inspected on the new EIF by @Ofstednews by Summer term 2025.

@educationgovuk 24) Admissions to be another key focus for trusts and local authorities.

@educationgovuk 25) Funding, infrastructure and technology: Transition to using the National Funding formula to set each school’s budget directly, without local amendment. All schools expected to us the Schools Resource Management tools and support.

@educationgovuk 26) "We expect that remote education will continue to be used, allowing children to keep
pace with their education when in-person attendance in school is impossible."

@educationgovuk 27) All schools to have access to a high-speed broadband connection by 2025 and new digital, data and technology standards to be published. Up to £150m to upgrade schools who are furthest from meeting the standards in PEIAs.
