Teaching sequence

Follow the authored lessons in an editorial Year 7 to Year 9 order. Each step links to its full teaching pack and supporting library record. England sets Key Stage 3 content for the stage as a whole; schools can use a different year order.

Beta course boundary: DASKEREL’s authored collection does not fill every statutory topic or replace practical teaching. Each year also links to a separately hosted Oak National Academy teaching sequence with more lessons and resources. Oak’s materials are identified as external; DASKEREL has no official affiliation with Oak. A school must still choose its curriculum, supervise practical work and check local RE and RSHE requirements.
