STRATA: Science To Raise And Track Achievement

The Cambridgeshire SEN Science Project, comprising a group of special schools (PMLD, SLD, MLD, and EBD), has developed a scheme of work and an assessment and recording framework for science that addresses the particular issues faced by the teachers of children with special needs.

The scheme of work provides a comprehensive range of activities that are both age appropriate and sufficient to meet the needs of the whole ability range. To find out how the scheme is designed to work, scroll down to Finding out more.
