White Paper: Schools - achieving success

In 2001, the government published the White Paper 'Schools - achieving success', starting the debate on developing a coherent 14-19 phase. Three key components for the phase were identified:

• creating space in the 14-16 curriculum to allow students to pursue their talents and aspirations, while maintaining a strong focus on the basics
• making high-quality vocational options available to all students; these must be widely recognised and offer the opportunity of entry to higher education
• recognising achievement in both academic and vocational subjects, perhaps through an overarching award.
