> Who set up the Review?

The idea for the Primary Review goes back to discussions first initiated by Robin Alexander in 1998. During 2004-5 these discussions were firmed up into a detailed proposal and made the subject of consultations first with funding bodies and then with teachers, parents, LEAs, faith communities, national agencies, government and opposition. In 2005, the Trustees of Esmée Fairbairn Foundation approved funding for a two-year review of primary education in England, to begin in October 2006.
