setting the educational knowledge expected of students at various ages.

Discounting students who are put up or down years, it's also possible to take exams for Key Stages other than what would be expected based on one's age. Thus a working mother might take a GCSE in Latin at night school despite perhaps being in her late 20s and successfully completed school. Such students don't usually make reference to the Key Stage in question, instead referring to the qualification level.

I'll attempt to include this information in the article. mattp 00:19, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A few other things that I think might be useful are:

When were key stages brought in
Whose idea was it? Tories, Labour, a particular cabinet minister? Or has :it all developed organically before ending up in the curriculum?
What do the teachers and teaching unions think about all this?
What system preceded it?

The article refers to the UK and Gibraltar, but: (a) neither Key Stages nor the so-called National Curriculum apply in Scotland, so referring to the UK as a whole isn’t strictly accurate; (b) whether they apply in Gibraltar I can’t say, but it’s odd that Gibraltar doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the articles about Key Stage 1, Key Stage 2 etc. (where England & Wales and Northern Ireland are referred to explicitly).

Year 9 and Key Stage 4[edit]

Some GCSE courses start in year 9, for me it was geography and double science. KS4 starts in part in year 9, and completely in year 10. I think that might be worth mentioning. 2.29.3.160 (talk) 22:04, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Move[edit]

Move Key Stage to key stage. Key stage is not a proper noun. 2A02:C7F:31CF:6400:ACC2:B8DE:54DB:EDF0 (talk) 17:17, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
