Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions she has had with (a) cultural and (b) scientific institutions on the introduction of a new curriculum fund.

We want all children, regardless of their background, to benefit from a high quality education that provides them with the knowledge they need to succeed in modern Britain.

We want to ensure that all teachers have appropriate support to help them deliver this knowledge rich curriculum. To date, the Secretary of State has not had discussions with cultural or scientific institutions about the fund. We will provide further details about the curriculum fund in due course.
