KS3 Overview
KS3 Overview
Secondary Essence Map .docxThis document shows the progression within core areas of learning from Upper KS2 up to GCSE. It can be copied and adapted to suit your needs. KS3 is split into year 7, 8 and 9 content. This is just a suggestion of progression and can be changed.
Within the tables are direct links to the year 5 and year 6 NCETM exemplification materials and other resources relating to both the Primary and Secondary years which can be used to inform class learning or in small group or intervention sessions.
Having the small steps in learning aids understanding and will help to track learning back to a place of security for pupils/students while supporting them to make progress from their starting points.
The KS3 Programme of Study has been broken down by strand with supporting resources and assessment material (see below).
KS3 by strand
KS3 by strand
The KS3 section breaks each strand of the KS3 Program of Study into a sequence of small steps. Each strand is linked to prior learning from Year 5 and 6 and GCSE content. Further exemplification is provided in the NCETM Secondary PD material.
Strands in green contain a high proportion of content overlap with GCSE.
The core strands (red) contain a Microsoft form with example assessment questions from the KS3 Mastery Assessment Material and Secondary Mastery PD material from the NCETM. These forms can be duplicated, adapted and used to identify gaps in knowledge. To find out how click here.
The examples assessment questions and quizzes on this site should be use to assess informally to identify gaps and inform planning.
