This paper introduces the main measures and characteristics of the development of modern primary education in Britain.
1988 after the passage of the education reform bill, the main measures for the reform of primary and secondary education in Britain are: (1) unifying the national curriculum, which consists of core subjects and basic subjects.

Among them, the core subjects include mathematics, English and science; Basic subjects include history, geography, science and technology, music, fine arts, sports and modern foreign languages. In addition, the law also lists religious education as a compulsory course for all students in primary and secondary schools, which is collectively referred to as the basic course with the national unified curriculum. (2) Reform the examination system and implement a unified national examination system. In the compulsory education stage, students have to take four national examinations, which are held at the age of 7, 1 1 year,1year and1year.

In addition, the new General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) has replaced the General Certificate of General Education (GCEO) and the Certificate of Secondary Education (CSE), increased the examination of Certificate of Pre-service Education (CPVE), and implemented the supplementary examination of advanced level. (3) Implement the direct subsidy policy of public schools and strengthen the autonomy of running schools.
