FAQ

How was the 5-year plan developed? The 5-year plan grew out of the KS3 Science Syllabus that Mastery Science developed with AQA. The 5-year plan is more ambitious and provides a framework that will completely prepare students for the greater demands of new GCSE. 

How do you put the 5-year plan into practice? The 5-year plan is not just an alternate set of learning objectives. It embeds a lot of curriculum research and requires shifts in mindset and classroom practice. Mastery Science is supporting these with CPD, books and the Complete Mastery materials.
