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.
Take a look at these examples:
- Grassmoor Primary School, in Derbyshire, has published science progression grids on its website, organised by topic and year group
- Hartside Primary Academy in County Durham provides topic overviews and progression maps, split out for each year group
See our article on progression grids for more examples across a range of primary subjects.
Please note: since some of these example tracking and assessment grids were published, small changes have been made to the year 3 National Curriculum science programmes of study. Make sure you check the contents before using
