Myth: Schools will not have to teach all of the national curriculum from September 2013 due to disapplication of some subjects. Fact: The Dfe wants to ensure that schools are able to provide pupils with a smooth transition to the new national curriculum. They have looked carefully at whether disapplying the current national curriculum would help schools to prepare for these changes. Disapplication means that schools will not have to teach the centrally prescribed programmes of study (or use attainment targets as part of statutory assessment arrangements) from September 2013. They can choose to continue with the current programmes of study or they may use the flexibility that disapplication offers to introduce the new programmes of study early. Disapplication does not mean that national curriculum subjects have been dropped from the national curriculum or that maintained schools can stop teaching national curriculum subjects; it is the statutory content that has been suspended, not the subjects themselves.
