Core Knowledge UK is an educational project providing content-rich learning resources for parents, teachers and home educators. We work in collaboration with a number of English primary schools to develop curriculum materials, handbooks for teachers and the What Your Child Needs to Know series which can be used both at home and in the classroom... Core Knowledge first emerged in the United States, where the Core Knowledge Foundation, a not-for-profit and independent charity, has provided effective and practical solutions to pervasive inequalities in schooling since 1986. It was founded by ED Hirsch, who was concerned about educational inequalities and developed the premise of cultural literacy, on which the Core Knowledge approach is based. The Core Knowledge Foundation worked with hundreds of educators, academics and specialists to develop the Core Knowledge Sequence. The American Core Knowledge curriculum was piloted in Three Oaks Elementary School in Florida in 1990 and is now used..
