This curriculum map covers the four strands of the NEW KS3-4 Assessment criteria based on the most up to date government documentation. Design, Make, Evaluate & Technical Knowledge are the core principles of the KS3 Strategy and this map is developed using the new GCSE 9-1 grading system from the AQA Design Technology Specification. It outlines all of the skills and knowledge students should be able to demonstrate in KS3 but also incorporates at level of what they should be able to demonstrate at KS4 to allow a seamless transition between KS3-4 and therefore can be used as a 5 year curriculum map. This is now an editable version of the document so you can adapt it to suit your school’s grading system.

This powerpoint outlines all the learning aims and objectives from the BTEC Level 2 Children’s Play, Learning and Development specification and includes activities, exam questions, model answers and much more!
