[senco-forum] Curriculum advice

Hi Ally

  I think many English departments use their own schemes of work - we certainly do.

  As well as the National Curriculum there is also the Literacy Strategy to look at.   Plus the Key Stage 3 Assessment for Learning and Behaviour and Attendence strands.

  There are no list of book which must be studied in Years 7, 8 or 9.  There's a list of suggested authors to study during Key Stage 3 and we have to teach Shakespeare, poetry, fiction, poetry, drama texts and non-fiction.  As far as I know, what you do when is up to the individual school.

  Hi,

Could someone please advise me where to find online curriculum for Key 
Stage 3 namely year 7 English and Maths please, similar to of the lesson plans 
provided on the dfes schemes of work pages for all the other subjects here. 
Maybe it's there and I'm just missing it or does such a thing not exist? All I 
can find are the teaching objectives but with no further details as to 
specifics.

Also if anyone has a list of recommended English set texts for year 7 
2006-7, that would also be most helpful.

Thank you very much in advance.

Best wishes,
