The government has launched a new 'Parent Portal' - an online resource intended to help families to play their part in their child's learning.
"This is about giving parents clarity, confidence, and practical tools to support their child's learning journey," Education Minister Erica Stanford said on Sunday.
She said it would provide a clear, easy-to-understand, year-by-year guide to what children will be learning in English and maths under the new curriculum.
The Parent Portal will include:
"This is the first time parents will have access to such a comprehensive and practical resource," Stanford said.
She added that more resources would be added to the platform over time.
"Parents are a crucial part of their child's education journey. Available on any device, the portal is about restoring their place at the heart of learning and giving them the confidence to make a real difference."
