Key Stage 3 Portfolio

I have chosen to investigate key stage three for my portfolio. Key stage 3 (KS3) is a groundwork specifically for children from the age of eleven to thirteen. Due to the break of statutory end of Key Stage 3 assessments, schools may end up choosing to take immediate advantage of curriculum flexibility for all year groups throughout Key Stage 3 from 2007 onwards. (1) The National Curriculum has been divided into five Key Stages, firstly its early years which is for the children who are in reception , key stage 1 is for children from year one to two, key stage 2 is for year three to six , key stage 3 is for year seven to nine and finally key stage four is for year ten to eleven. In key stage three ,the students usually start their first year in secondary which means they are from year seven to year nine. I have chosen the third key stage because I have a lot of experience working with children at that age as I have been doing voluntary by teaching them every week.
