In KS3: The Ambitious Years, Mary Myatt sets out a clear and practical approach to curriculum and teaching in Years 7–9.
Drawing on research, classroom practice and years of working with schools and trusts, this book challenges the idea that KS3 is a holding stage and shows how it can become the most powerful phase in a pupil’s education.
