It should be made clear that this is just a proposal from the person
doing the review, it is some way off actually being included in the
National Curriculum. Hopefully WMUK will be able to get involved if it
is, though - we've been discussing working with schools for a while
already, so it looks like we'll have more schools interested in having
us visit if this goes ahead!
