Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities Progression Maps at Key Stage 3
These subject-specific progression maps have been developed to:
- foster a shared language which pupils and teachers can use to focus on the acquisition and development of the Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities; and
- support assessment and facilitate making judgements about pupils’ progress in the Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities within subject strands.
