24.This section requires the head teacher and governing body of a maintained school or maintained nursery school to keep the school’s adopted curriculum under review. They must ensure that it continues to comply with the requirements mentioned above, if necessary by revising it.
25.In considering whether the adopted curriculum continues to comply with those requirements, the head teacher and governing body must consider what has been shown by any assessment arrangements made by them under the Act. (The results of the assessment arrangements might, for instance, indicate that the curriculum is not making provision for appropriate progression and so needs to be revised to deal with this).
