Also, this is just a clarification of an existing rule that already applied to most state schools, they are just re-stating it for some of the funding edge case

  Academies are no longer edge cases. Most Secondary Schools (11-18) are now Academies, and hence no longer have to teach the National Curriculum. I feel this is a very important clarification, especially considering the number of Academies and Free Schools that are sponsored by religious groups.

    Although the majority of secondary schools are academies, which I had not realised, they all still have to follow the core national curriculum for maths, english and science subjects.
