I found this on the QCA site below:

"

The majority of pupils are expected to work at: * levels 1-3 in key stage 1 and attain level 2 at the end of the key stage * levels 2-5 in key stage 2 and attain level 4 at the end of the key stage * levels 3-7 in key stage 3 and attain level 5/6 at the end of the key stage."

It appears to be deliberately confusing when you try to find out more.

Firstly there are Key Stages. These Key Stages apply to different age groups. I.e.

Key Stage 1 = Ages 5 - 7

Key Stage 2 = Ages 7-11

Key Stage 3 = Ages 11-14

Key Stage 4 = Ages 14-16

Then there are the levels. The levels are

level 1-3 = Key Stage 1 (i.e. Ages 5-7)

level 2-5 = Key Stage 2 (i.e. Ages 7-11)

level 3-7 = Key Stage 3 (i.e. Ages 11-14)

All of the above taken from http://curriculum.qca.org.uk/ and page 7 of the National Curriculum document on English from the same site.

Below just my opinion

However, I have also read that a student achieving level 7 is equivalent to a GCSE pass at grade C.

I have left out the average expected attainment level for each Key Stage. These are level 2 at age 7, level 4 at age 11 and level 5/6 at age 14. These were the only indicators provided. Looking at the above it appears that level 3 is appropriate to both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 3. And given that level 7 is equivalent to a GCSE pass then it is not clear what would be in Key Stage 4.

There are sub levels a - c in each level 2a, 2b etc. This is to help assess progress for example if a child moves from a 2c to a 2a in a year they are obviously improving despite being the same level. Basically children are expected to move half a level a year in Key stages 1 and 2 (Primary School), these are the expected levels; Year 1 - 1c Year 2 - 1a Year 3 - 2b Year 4 - 3c Year 5 - 3a Year 6 - 4b

What is involved with the explanation and demonstration stage?

The explanation and demonstration stage involves clearly articulating concepts, principles, or processes to ensure understanding. This stage often includes using examples, analogies, or visual aids to illustrate key points. Additionally, hands-on demonstrations may be employed to showcase practical applications, allowing participants to observe and engage with the material actively. This interactive approach enhances comprehension and retention of the information being presented.


What is the type of key were there are two choices at each step?

The type of key you're referring to is often called a "binary key." In a binary key, each decision point or step presents two choices, typically represented as "yes/no," "true/false," or "0/1." This structure is commonly used in decision trees, algorithms, and data structures, enabling straightforward branching at each level.

What separates public schools from catholic and private schools?

Public schools are free and government operated, being paid for by tax money. Private schools are paid for entirely by the parents and are not government operated, however, they do need to meet government guidelines. Catholic schools are private schools that have a Catholic religious element to them. Many people believe that private schools are better for learning, which I believe to be the case.
