Key Stage 3

Lifetime Targets: • 50 per cent of the workforce to be qualified to NVQ Level 3, Advanced GNVQ or two GCE A level standard (currently about 42 per cent). • 28 per cent of the workforce to have a vocational, professional, management or academic qualification at NVQ Level 4 or above (currently about 25 per cent). • 70 per cent of all organizations employing 200+, and 45 per cent of those employing 50+, to be recognized as Investors in People (though only 22 per cent and 10 per cent respectively, this is expected to be met on current commitments). (Sources: DfEE, QCA and Ofsted, 1997; NACETT, 1998) For the year 2002: • At the end of Key Stage 2, 80 per cent of 11-year-olds will achieve Level 4 or above in English. • At the end of Key Stage 2, 75 per cent of 11-year-olds will achieve Level 4 or above in mathematics. (These targets have been extrapolated for individual LEAs) Mandatory School Targets: • At the end of Key Stage 2, the percentage of pupils attaining Level 4 or above in English will be . . . • At the end of Key Stage 2, the percentage of pupils attaining Level 4 or above in mathematics will be . . . • At the end of Key Stage 4, the percentage of pupils attaining five or more GCSEs or equivalent at grades A–C will be . . . • At the end of Key Stage 4, the percentage of pupils attaining 1 or more GCSEs or equivalent at grades A–G will be . . . • At the end of Key Stage 4, the average GCSE or equivalent points score per pupil will be . . . (Targets will have to be set each autumn term, starting in 1998, and relating to those pupils taking National Curriculum tests or GCSE examinations or equivalent towards the end of the following school year i.e. five terms later) (Source: DfEE, 1998b) Additional School Targets: • All pupils will add two levels to their performance between Key Stage 2 at 11 and Key Stage 3 at age 14.

Key Stage 3

• All pupils will add two levels to their performance between Key Stage 3 at 14 and Key Stage 4 at age 16. • Targets for numbers or proportions achieving levels (say, Level 3, or graded levels within Level 2 in reading) at end of Key Stage 1, or average scores at end of Key Stage 1, in reading, writing, mathematics. • Targets for numbers or proportions achieving levels (say, Level 5) at end of Key Stage 2, or average scores at end of Key Stage 2, in English, mathematics and science. • Targets for numbers or proportions achieving levels at end of Key Stage 3, or average scores at end of Key Stage 3, in English, mathematics and science. • The proportion of pupils achieving at least GCSE grade C in English, mathematics and science. • The proportion of pupils achieving at least GCSE grade G in English, mathematics and science, individually and collectively. • The proportion of boys achieving the above levels at the four Key Stages. • The proportion of girls achieving the above levels at the four Key Stages. • The proportion of pupils of minority ethnic origin, or with English as a second language, achieving the above levels at the four Key Stages. • The proportion of pupils from different neighbourhoods within the school catchment area achieving the above levels at the four Key Stages. • The difference between the achievements of different groups of pupils within the school — by gender, ethnic origin, social class, residence, and other relevant categories. • The proportion of positive responses to a pupil satisfaction survey. • The equal application of rewards and sanctions across years, classes and subject areas. • The ratio of rewards given to sanctions applied (say, 3:1). • The average progress made by pupils will be equivalent to half a NC Level each year. No student will progress at less than half a level each x months.

Stage 1

The Wobbler mouse (wr) has been studied as a model for inherited human motoneuron diseases (MNDs). Using behavioral tests for forelimb power, walking, climbing, and the “clasp-like reflex” response, the progress of the MND can be categorized into early (Stage 1, age 21 days) and late (Stage 4, age 3 months) stages. Age-and sex-matched normal phenotype littermates (NFR/wr) were used as controls (Stage 0), as well as mice from two related wild-type mouse strains: NFR/N and a C57BI/6N. Using behavioral tests, we also detected pre-symptomatic Wobblers at postnatal ages 7 and 14 days. The mice were anesthetized and perfusion-fixed for immunocytochemical (ICC) of CGRP and ChAT in the spinal cord (C3 to C5).Using computerized morphomety (Vidas, Zeiss), the numbers of IR-CGRP labelled motoneurons were significantly lower in 14 day old Wobbler specimens compared with the controls (Fig. 1). The same trend was observed at 21 days (Stage 1) and 3 months (Stage 4). The IR-CGRP-containing motoneurons in the Wobbler specimens declined progressively with age.

Dietary Phosphate

Impaired phosphate excretion by the kidney leads to Hyperphosphatemia. It is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (stage 4 and 5) particularly in case of dialysis. Phosphate retention develops early in chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to the reduction in the filtered phosphate load. Overt hyperphosphatemia develops when the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) falls below 25 to 40 mL/min/1.73 m2. Hyperphosphatemia is typically managed with oral phosphate binders in conjunction with dietary phosphate restriction. These drugs aim to decrease serum phosphate by binding ingested phosphorus in the gastrointestinal tract and its transformation to non-absorbable complexes [1].
