Excellence and enjoyment: A strategy for primary schools

In 2003, the Secretary of State launched Excellence and Enjoyment - A Strategy for Primary Schools which set out the vision for the future of primary education. The strategy included:

• Empowering primary schools to take control of their curriculum, and to be more innovative and to develop their own character.
• Helping schools design broad and rich curricula which make the most of links between different areas and provide opportunities for children to have a wide range of learning experiences.
• Delivering the entitlement to a broad and rich curriculum.
• Building on the Literacy and Numeracy strategies.
• Releasing the potential of e-learning and ICT.
• Extending the curriculum:
  • modern foreign languages
  • museums and galleries education programme
  • high quality PE and music for all

"We need to be innovative and creative to create a curriculum which is meaningful and relevant"

Kevan Collins, Primary Strategy ITT launch, Sept 18th 2003
