Discover VR

📋 The biggest change to the National Curriculum since 2014 is coming — and 2026/27 is your preparation year.

Here's what the DfE's Curriculum Review means for your classroom right now:

🗣️ Oracy is becoming central — spoken language, discussion, and articulation are now explicitly prioritised. OFSTED is already looking for it.

🌍 Citizenship is becoming compulsory in primary schools from 2028 — covering democracy, climate, financial literacy, and media literacy. Schools building awareness now will be well ahead.

♻️ Climate change and sustainability are explicitly required — moving from enrichment to statutory Citizenship content. This isn't a future concern. It's a present one.

The good news? You don't need to rip up your planning. You just need the right experiences in the right places — sessions that develop oracy naturally, build climate literacy, and give pupils the cross-curricular understanding the new programmes of study will reward.

That's exactly what a Discover VR workshop does.

🗣️ Here's something teachers don't expect when they book a Discover VR session.

It's not the gasps when the headsets go on. It's not the questions during the session. It's what happens in the lesson afterwards.

Pupils who rarely volunteer answers are describing what they saw. Quieter children are using vocabulary they haven't used before. The whole class has a shared experience to talk about — and the conversation is real, not performed.

That's the oracy connection. And with OFSTED increasingly looking for the quality of pupil talk as an indicator of curriculum depth — and the new curriculum review placing spoken language at the heart of what good teaching looks like — this matters more than ever.

A Discover VR session isn't just an enrichment day. It's a legitimate oracy activity. One that gives every pupil in the room a common reference point, a genuine memory, and something worth talking about.
