Schools are free to organise in the way that best suits them

The full quote is

Schools are free to organise and deliver the curriculum in the way that best suits their circumstances and needs.  There are no constraints relating to time allocation or organisation of subjects.

They can choose to

retain their existing approach to curriculum organisation whilst adopting a new approach to delivery

or

develop more imaginative and innovative ways of delivery of the statutory curriculum.  Such changes in approach might include moving away from a rigid hourly timetable, combining the teaching of one or more subjects in a thematic way or using a series of whole days - in or out of school - to focus on a particular topic.
