In this period a child's education is divided into two main stages of the National Curriculum: Key Stages 3 and 4. ==Stages== Key Stage 3 includes years 7,8, and 9 * Year 7, old First Form, age 11 to 12 * Year 8, old Second Form, age 12 to 13 * Year 9, old Third Form, age 13 to 14 (End of Key Stage Three Tests and Tasks) Key Stage 4 includes years 10 and 11 * Year 10, old Fourth Form, age 14 to 15 * Year 11, old Fifth Form, age 15 to 16 (old O Level examinations, modern GCSE examinations) Secondary schools in Wales must, by law, teach the basic and the National Curriculum to their pupils. The basic curriculum consists of religious education, sex education, personal and social education, and for 14- to 16-year-olds, work-related education, the (Welsh Baccalaureate ) is now online for pupils at KS4. Schools must also provide careers education and guidance for all 13-16-year-olds. At Key Stage 3, the National Curriculum consists of the "core subjects" of English and Welsh, mathematics and science, and the "non-core subjects" of Welsh second language, modern foreign languages, design and technology, information technology, history, geography, art, music, physical education and religious education.〔(DELLS - Secondary (11-16 )〕 At Key Stage 4, only five National Curriculum subjects are mandatory (English, Welsh or Welsh second language, mathematics, science, and physical education) and schools have greater flexibility to provide optional subjects that meet the needs and interests of their pupils. The majority of learners at this key stage follow courses leading to external qualifications, principally GCSEs.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Secondary education in Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
