It is why we will be extending the national curriculum, once it is reformed, to cover academies so that a rich cutting-edge curriculum is available to all our children in all our schools. It is why we are reforming the national teachers’ pay system to give school and trust leaders the tools they need to recruit and retain expert teachers, regardless of how their school is governed. It is why we are supporting schools to apply a robust but common-sense uniforms policy. Uniforms are there to make children smart, not families poor. That is the intent and purpose of this Government.
