The learning programme of a child in the National Curriculum is divided into age groups otherwise known as “Key Stages”.
Early Years Foundation Stage– This is a statutory framework for children’s learning and development and welfare from birth to the end of the academic year in which they turn 5. It covers six areas of learning:
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development (3 scales)
- Communication, Language and Literacy (4 scales)
- Problem-solving, reasoning and numeracy (3 scales)
- Knowledge and understanding of the world (1 scale)
- Physical Development (1 scale)
- Creative Development (1 scale)
Key Stage 1: Also known as Infants, age of children 5-7 and year group 1-2
Key Stage 2: Also known as Juniors, age of children 7-11 and year group 3-6
Key Stage 4: Also known as Secondary School, age of children 14-16 and year group 10-11. This is GCSE level.
Key Stage 3 was not examined in this process as there is no longer any formal assessment that takes place; instead it is now carried out by teacher assessment.
