In relation to Amendment 502B tabled by the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Bennett, I have already highlighted the Government’s commitment to enabling more young people to learn about the natural world in greater depth, as well as how they are supporting this. However, schools themselves are best placed to determine how to use these and other opportunities to meet their ambitions for their pupils, given their curriculums, resources and local environments. We do not think that Whitehall should try to plan schools’ timetables for them.
