The Key Stage 3 National Strategy aims to raise standards by strengthening teaching and learning across the curriculum for all 11–14-year-olds.

This publication is intended to help schools to make effective use of the flexibility in the Key Stage 3 curriculum. It is based on early lessons learned from the two-year Key Stage 3 project. This is an ongoing project that is still being evaluated and consequently this guidance may be subject to further revisions.

This guidance also builds on the earlier DfES and QCA joint publication ‘Designing the Key Stage 3 Curriculum’ which describes, with examples, how to design and timetable a Key Stage 3 curriculum that is relevant to an individual school’s circumstances.
