Why KS3
Why start at KS3
In many schools, GCSE content starts to appear in Year 9. Solid foundations in Years 7 and 8, especially in algebra, fractions and ratio, make GCSE Maths and Science far less of a jump.
Common gaps
Where gaps usually start
- Fractions, decimals and percentages that were never quite secure
- Algebra introduced before the number work underneath it is solid
- Science vocabulary that gets muddled as topics pile up
