Key stage 3 national pilot science: unit 1 starting points sc4: physical processes
Science remains a compulsory national curriculum subject at all four key stages. These existing programmes of study and attainment targets remained statutory for pupils in maintained schools in years 1, 2, 5 and 6 in 2013 to 2014, because they underpinned the statutory key stage 1 and 2 tests in 2014 and 2015.
New statutory programmes of study and attainment targets were introduced from September 2014 for all year groups except years 2 and 6: for those year groups, the new curriculum took effect from September 2015. The national curriculum programmes of study for science at key stages 1 and 2 were disapplied with effect from 1 September 2013 for pupils in years 3 and 4 and are no longer statutory in relation to those year groups.
