About Us
On 16 November the Secretary of State announced a programme designed to raise standards of teaching and learning in the early years of secondary education.
From March 2001 £82 million will be allocated to Local Education Authorities:
- £10 million for the continuation of the Key Stage 3 pilot programme.
- £50 million for the first phase of a national implementation programme, which will focus on the extension of the successful National Literacy and Numeracy Strategies into Key Stage 3;
- £22 million to run over 2000 Literacy and Numeracy summer schools, catering for over 66,000 children in 2001.
1. A programme designed to transform teaching and learning in the foundation subjects, which addresses the strategy's objectives in regards expectations, progression, engagement and transformation. These four elements will:
- provide support for foundation subjects to match that given to English, mathematics, science and ICT
- help pupils to become more responsible for their own learning and to become more engaged with the work they are doing;
- provide a very clear focus on teaching, especially learning objectives for individual lessons, setting pupil targets, teaching styles, plenary and extension work;
- ensure greater continuity from primary to secondary school, and across the whole of Key Stage 3.
3. English and mathematics tests at the end of Year 7 for pupils who did not achieve Level 4 at the end of Key Stage 2. These will be piloted and made available to secondary schools in 2001.
4. Wider optional tests in English and mathematics covering higher levels which will enable other pupils to demonstrate the progress they have made.
