- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the level of teaching of craft in schools; and whether the Curriculum and Assessment Review will impact the current arrangements for craft teaching.
- Answer
-
The independent Curriculum and Assessment Review final report and the government response were both published on 5 November 2025.

This will include consideration of craft, which is covered in the existing national curriculum.
