Will give you maths and literacy. There's a new curriculum coming out soon, until then the old National Curriculum stands as statutory. Although school have some freedom about what they teach when in the keystage.

Don't know why I'm doing this, I still remember with a shudder the parent of the PFB I was teaching who bought an entire set of National Curriculum folders to check the school was doing its job.

There is no set list.

As teachers, we have a legal obligation to follow the National Curriculum curriculum.qcda.gov.uk/key-stages-1-and-2/ but it's fairly vague.

Most schools teach to the Primary Framework for maths and English, but they don't have to.

So it's really up to the school what they teach. A lot used to follow QCA religiously, which does prescribe topics per year, but a lot have moved on from that idea now.

And if Labour get in, we'll be following the new Curriculum 2011, but if Tories get in then who knows!

I just teach what I'm told to teach!

As Kat says, it depends on the school.

Is it for your DC? If so, ask the teachers, they should be able to supply at least a rough list of topics, although it could change.
