STRATA Schemes

The Cambridgeshire SEN Science Project, funded by the AstraZeneca Science Teaching Trust,
brought together a group of special schools and developed a scheme of work and an assessment/recording framework for science. The STRATA: Science To Raise And Track Achievement materials address the particular issues faced by the teachers of students with special needs.

The schemes of work provide a comprehensive range of activities that are both age appropriate and sufficient to meet the needs of the whole ability range for students (the schools involved included PMLD, SLD, MLD and EBD specialist environments).

The units cover most of the aspects of Science One, Two, Three and Four across Key Stages One, Two and Three. In this sense, it is made up of units of work that contribute to the scheme. The units are separated into those working up to level one and those up to level four.
