See examples of progression grids
The National Curriculum sets out what should be taught at each Key Stage in science. Progression grids offer a breakdown of the key content and targets. This makes it easier to plan and pitch lessons and sets clear expectations for teaching.
Progression grids can be arranged by year group or Key Stage, depending on your school’s needs.
