6th July 1994

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 geography 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 Geography) (England) (No. 2) Order 1991 and the Document given effect by that Order to reflect that change.
