Disapplication of national curriculum at key stage 4

From August 2006

Disapplication of science is no longer permitted since the revised programme of study has been implemented. This programme of study is smaller, updated and relevant to all students. It is built into a range of qualifications.
Disapplication of modern foreign languages and design and technology was discontinued in 2004 when they were designated ‘statutory entitlement areas’. They are no longer compulsory but any student wishing to take a course in either or both is entitled to do so.

Disapplication through a statement of special educational need applies only to students with statements. Any or all national curriculum subjects can be disapplied as part of the statement review process within the student’s annual review. Further guidance can be found in Chapter 5 of Disapplication of the national curriculum and the Code of practice on the identification and assessment of special needs.

Disapplication for a temporary period applies to all students. Any or all national curriculum subjects can be disapplied for a six month period, renewable for up to two further six month periods. Further guidance is in Chapter 3 of Disapplication of the national curriculum.
