The Key Stage 3: the wasted years? Recommendations

These are some of the recommendations from the report:

Secondary school leaders should:

• make Key Stage 3 a higher priority in all aspects of school planning, monitoring and evaluation

• ensure that not only is the curriculum offer at Key Stage 3 broad and balanced, but that teaching is of high quality and prepares pupils for more challenging subsequent study at Key Stages 4 and 5

• ensure that transition from Key Stage 2 to 3 focuses as much on pupils’ academic needs as it does on their pastoral needs

While the report is from 2015 and there have been some improvements, there’s still a way to go!

I’ll be exploring how we might tackle this in a new project I’m developing.

It’s called: Key Stage 3: The Ambitious Years and I’ll be setting out the background to this work on a new webinar: Thursday 27th March 4-5pm.
