Where will the money come from to fund the additional specialist and after hours clubs required to deliver this.

After school clubs are not new, but there will not be enough teaching time in a standard school day, so some of this stuff will have to be done after hours. Teachers will be preparing for the following day so will not be able to do it.
Any volunteers?

10 year olds mastering the subjunctive? Hands up who knows what it is? Actually I know the French subjunctive,and sort of the German subjunctive, or Konjunctiv, although that's a bit confusing and I was never sure if it was the same as the conditional or not, but I'm pretty sure I never learned any such thing in English at school.
Any why is the only thing under design and technology, food and nutrition? Knowing how to cook is hardly design or technology.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

The proposals are stupid as what you and I would call something like fractions is different from how a five year old learns about them.
Also the reason kids don't learn their 12 times tables is this thing called decimalisation."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

You don't need to be a programmer to teach basics of programming any more than you need to be a physicist to teach physics. That said, until they start teaching programming in teacher training I agree it's a bit of a problem. Maybe rely on one teacher per school having a bit of interest, or something.
It's a good question though, how to bring in a new subject. Unless they start it at a certain age and it moves up with that year group... then they can make sure there are new teachers trained in time.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

It's harder, therefore exercises the brain more.
In fact, these days I'd extend it to 16.Comment
