<P> In 2013 , the government produced a draft National Curriculum , followed by a final version in September 2013 , for first teaching in September 2014 . Due to the short timescales for introduction , the curriculum was introduced only for certain subjects and year groups in 2014 , with the core subjects in Years 2 and 6 ( the final years of Key Stages 2 and 4 ) only becoming statutory in September 2015 , to allow time for the introduction of new testing arrangements at the end of the Key Stages . Similarly , core subjects at Key Stage 4 are to be introduced on a year - by - year basis starting in September 2015 for English and Maths , and September 2016 for Science . </P>
