EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 4(2) of the Education Reform Act 1988 places a duty on the Secretary of State to establish the National Curriculum by specifying by order
appropriate attainment targets, programmes of study and assessment arrangements for each of the foundation subjects.
Section 4(4) allows for such an order, instead of containing the provisions to be made, to refer to provisions in a document published by
Her Majesty's Stationery Office.
This Order accordingly refers to the document entitled "Physical Education in the National Curriculum" and provides for the attainment target and programmes of study set out in it to have effect for the four key stages of a pupil's compulsory schooling.
The Order provides that any examples printed in italics in the
Document are for illustrative purposes only, and do not form part of the
Order.
