Watch my question about the expansion of the school curriculum

The Liberal Democrats welcome the Government’s ambition to see arts and outdoor enrichment education included at the heart of the school curriculum.

I’ve seen first-hand during numerous school visits since the election the phenomenal impact outdoor education can have for children.

But the Government’s Curriculum & Assessment Review leaves many unanswered questions, particularly over funding and how schools are going to recruit the teachers needed to deliver this expansion.

This week, I asked the Education Secretary how schools will prioritise new experiences for pupils when they’re already under severe budgetary pressure from the Government’s other unfunded commitments?
