Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Education (National Curriculum) (Attainment Targets and Programmes of Study in Geography) (Wales) Order 1991 (S.I. 1991/751) (“the principal Order”). The modifications in this Order to the draft Order published in pursuance to the requirements of section 21(3) of the Education Reform Act 1988 are limited to ones of a drafting nature.
Section 4(4) of the 1988 Act allows an Order, instead of containing the provisons to be made, to refer to provisions in a Document published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.
The principal Order refers to such a Document. It is entitled “Geography in the National Curriculum (Wales)” That Document sets out the attainment targets and programmes of study which are to have effect for each of the key stages of a pupil’s compulsory schooling in relation to geography.
This amending Order makes provison at key stage 4 for alternative attainment targets and a programme of study in a short course in Geography by reference to an Annex to the Document, entitled “Short Course at Key Stage 4, Annex to Geography in the National Curriculum (Wales)” (“the Annex”). Articles 5 and 7 make amendments relating to the alternative attainment targets and articles 6 and 8 make amendments relating to the alternative programmes of study.
The amendment made by article 3 secures that the attainment targets and programme of study set out in the Annex to the Document form part of the principal Order.
The amendment made by article 6 secures that any examples printed in italics in the Annex are illustrative only, and do not form part of the principal Order.
In pursuance of the amendments, a maintained school in Wales may provide pupils in the fourth key stage with either the programme of study set out in the Document or that set out in the Annex. The former covers a widr range of study than the latter. Which programme of study a pupil follows is determined by his school.
