Key Stage 3

Meaning

A permanent magnet is an object with its own magnetic field that remains there even when there are no other external magnetic fields.

About Permanent Magnets

A bar magnet is a permanent magnet.
Permanent magnets are used in a electrical motors.

Key Stage 4

Meaning

A permanent magnet is an object with its own magnetic field that remains there even when there are no other external magnetic fields.

About Permanent Magnets

A bar magnet is a permanent magnet.
Permanent magnets are used in a electrical motors.
A magnet is made of several small magnetic domains which are regions in the magnet which act as smaller magnets. In a permanent magnet these magnetic domains are fixed in place and need energy to change their magnetic direction.
A permanent magnet can only lose its magnetic field under certain conditions:

When magnetic domains are aligned the object has its own magnetic field so it acts like a magnet. When the magnetic domains are not aligned it does not have a magnetic field because the effect of the magnetic domains cancels out.
