Bullock Report (A Language for Life)

Bullock Report (A Language for Life)

"A Language for Life", better known as the "Bullock Report", was a UK government report published in 1975 by an independent committee, chaired by Alan Bullock, set up by the government to consider the teaching of language.

Its primary recommendation was that "every secondary school should develop a policy for language across the curriculum".

The Bullock report also called for a re-examination of the debate into what English was, how it should be taught and what needs to be covered. This went on to produce the Cox Report in 1989, and the National Curriculum for English followed.
