The Key Stage 4 planning handbook

The Key Stage 4 handbook was launched in summer 2007 to assist planning for a two-tier GCSE. The handbook introduces the 'mathematics planning toolkit: Key Stage 4' through a sequence of 'bite-sized' tasks that address the heart of the planning process. This collection of linked tasks helps subject leaders prioritise, plan and implement a manageable development programme that involves the department working collaboratively. The structure of the handbook is intended to be flexible enough for schools to use in the context of a changing curriculum at Key Stage 4, and will be adapted in the future to provide guidance around other curricular developments such as functional mathematics and a second GCSE in mathematics.
