Apparently this is coming in from September? Does anybody know anything about this?

It is far less than is done now, this must be seen as a legal minimum?

I can't believe any school does less tbh, and if it does then it's frankly failing it's students. 3 hours of maths and 3 of english still leaves 19 a week for other stuff.

Every school I've ever worked in has had that anyway.

It is leading to quite a fundamental change at the school and I an surprised - it will make the curriculum narrower and I don't see the need as it's a high achieving school

Is it not already? In Scotand it is four periods a week in most schools- so probably about 3 hours 20.

Why do you ask? Are you surprised/concerned?
