There are some big differences between this curriculum and the last one:

• Statutory spelling lists are provided along with a set of appendices which specify the required grammar and punctuation along with the terminology both teachers and children are expected to use.
• Spoken Language replaces Speaking and Listening and is expected to be implicitly taught throughout every key stage.
• Years 3 and 4 are covered in a single scheme of work, as are years 5 and 6.
