Units of Work

The following units of work - for KS3 and KS4 - may be adopted or adapted for your use in the classroom. They have been produced to a format that is consistent with the national schemes of work units published by QCA (Qualifications & Curriculum Authority).

Each Unit of Work outlines the learning objectives for the unit and incorporates formative and summative assessment.

Teaching activities, ie. the experiences through which students will learn, are outlined. As a general rule, each unit represents approximately 10 hours of curriculum time but can be shrunk or extended according to the time available and your priorities, egs. you may already have included similar teaching activities in another unit of work, or may prefer to work in greater depth over a reduced range of activities.
