New attainment targets
There will be no changes to the National Curriculum until at least 2024.
The white paper sets out new attainment targets, aimed to help pupils across the country achieve in school. It highlights literacy and numeracy as key tenets of achievement.
Primary schools
By 2030, 90% of pupils will achieve the expected standard in reading, writing and maths by the time they leave primary school.

Reaching this target will include an assessment of Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) reforms.
