The 5-year plan

"The Blueprint 5-year plan showed the Ofsted inspector that we have a clear vision for our science curriculum - centred around the big ideas and spiralled so that each year builds on previous learning. She was really impressed." John Farrant, Greig City Academy.

Proper Science was developed as the first two years of a 5-year plan, Blueprint, a mastery curriculum framework for the 5 years of secondary science, after the 2014-16 changes to National Curriculum and GCSE. In particular it responded to the greater challenge in GCSE where there now 60% of the marks for transferable understanding (called AO2) and higher level thinking (AO3).
