KS3 science
2014-2015
KS3 Topic and Assessment Rotas
Throughout KS3 pupils complete regular assessments based on the topics they study (see below for list of topics covered in each year).
The data from assessments provides useful information on how pupils are progressing. Along with classwork and homework the results from assessments will also inform us of any set movements that may need to take place, which can happen throughout the year (Y7 are taught in forms but then placed in sets when they move into Y8 and Y9).
We want all pupils to maximise their potential and demonstrate good progress, as such extra support will be put into place for any pupils who may need it.
At KS3 all three sciences are covered in equal amounts. The topics below are colour coded to show which area of science is being covered.
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
