    Are there any exams for Key Stage 3 Courses?

    No.

    KS3 courses are the building blocks designed to prepare your child to begin studying for GCSE, which is formally examined.

    With no exams to worry about, your child can take as much or as little time as they need to assimilate the basic principles in KS3. This can be a time in school when gifted children become bored and troublesome if they find it all too slow and easy while others may be put off learning if they have not had time to grasp the first principles of a subject. Oxford Home Schooling has the flexibility to cope with both of these extremes and every child in between.

    Is there an age limit for KS3?

    There isn’t a specific age requirement to start a Key Stage 3 course but we strongly recommend that the pupil is a minimum of 10 and preferably 11 when they start the GCSE course and also that they are academically capable of starting the course.  If the student is not 10 before they start, we may have difficulty allocating you a tutor. There is no upper age-limit. 

     

    When can I start?

    You may take out a subscription and start any time of the year you like. The earlier the better! The important thing to think about is the context of secondary education as a whole and the objectives you have as a family. 

    Once you have taken out a subscription, you will get access to your course online immediately and (optionally) your printed course materials will arrive a few days later.

    Is it necessary to start with a Year 7 course?

    No. Students may jump in at Year 8 or Year 9 instead. If a student has already completed Year 7 (or Year 8) within a school environment, they find they were repeating skills and knowledge already acquired. But any course makes assumptions about prior knowledge and our Year 8 courses do assume the prior knowledge that comes from a Year 7 course. Our Year 9 course, similarly, assumes knowledge from both Year 7 and Year 8. So it may take a little while to adapt.

    Will completion of the KS3 course (to Year 9) put me in a good position to start my GCSE studies?

    This is one of the main objectives of our KS3 courses.  Some of our GCSE and International GCSE courses may go back briefly to first principles  for the benefit of those who are new to the subject but a student’s chances of success are hugely enhanced if they have achieved a firm grounding at KS3 first. 

     

    Are any additional textbooks or external resources required?

    The courses are largely self-sufficient so no additional textbooks should be required. The exception, perhaps, is English, where students will need to acquire certain novels, plays and poetry books. Access to the internet is advantageous at all levels of education, including KS3. Our science courses assume access to various very basic items of equipment for home-based experiments, usually under parental supervision.
