We published draft programmes of study for all National Curriculum subjects for consultation on Thursday, 7 February. The draft programme of study for history includes both Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole. The consultation will end on 16 April.

Subject to parliamentary approval, we plan to make the final programmes of study available to schools this autumn so that they can prepare for first teaching from September 2014. More information about our proposals and the consultation is available at: www. education.gov.uk/nationalcurriculum.
