Phil Wood at the University of Leicester School of Education has asked his current PGCE students to use the new KS3 orders to produce a stimulating KS3 SOW. Phil has created a document that showcases their efforts and the results provide much food for thought. You can download the Leicester PGCE students work by clicking this link.
The Geography Teaching today website has recently added the first of many schemes of work based on the new KS3 POS. Thanks to Alan Parkinson for the heads up!
A rather nice think piece on the nature of concepts from Liz Taylor. Nice!
Planning your KS3 curriculum, published by the GA is an invaluable tool to help you get off the ground with your new curriculum. Keep an eye out for future GA publications on Assessment and the “KS3 Toolkit” series.

I understand that the above link is very good. However, I could not get it to download. Is it possible to have it made more accessible please?
Many thanks
