Curriculum research reviews

A series of reviews by Ofsted looking at the research evidence currently available about different curriculum subjects.

We began publishing research reviews in April 2021. Our aim is that the reviews will support and inform those leading the thinking on subject education in our schools.

Research reviews

Our research reviews will collate currently available research evidence. We will consider what the evidence tells us about a high-quality education in each subject.
