How do the skills outlined for KS3 differ from/link with the Key Skills at KS4?
• The skills are the same. The principal difference is the process of assessment. The Key Skills Qualification requires the student to sit a test and submit a portfolio of work. In Key Stage 3 the assessment will be by the teacher. • CCEA will also map progression in each of the skills through each key stage so that teachers and parents can see how a pupil might be expected to progress.
