Two Year Key Stage 3 Project Evaluation Research Information
| Description | The Two Year Key Stage 3 Project was proposed within the 2001 Green Paper Schools: Building on Success and launched in 2003. The aim of the Project was for participating schools to increase the pace of learning among pupils, to improve the transition from Key Stage 2 (KS2) to Key Stage 3 (KS3) and also improve pupils motivation and engagement during Years 7, 8 and 9 - the years conventionally devoted to Key Stage 3. By completing Key Stage 3 in two years, schools could then devote the saved time to Key Stage 4 (KS4) studies, including early entry to General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) examinations, and to enrichment activities for their pupils. A consortium comprising researchers from the London School of Economics and the National Foundation for Educational Research was commissioned by the Department for Education and Skills to evaluate the initiative. This report presents the evaluation findings. | |
