Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

The Education (National Curriculum) (Foundation Subjects at Key Stage 4) Order 1994 (S.I. 1994/1814) amends section 3 of the Education Reform Act 1988 so that history ceases to be a foundation subject of the National Curriculum for pupils in the fourth key stage. This Order amends the Education (National Curriculum) (Attainment Targets and Programmes of Study in History) (England) Order 1991 and the Document given effect by that Order to reflect that change.
