KS2
Key Stage 2 encompasses Years 3 to 6 (ages 7-11) and caters to children’s innate curiosity by fostering knowledge across all subjects. Our aim is to develop pupils’ reading comprehension, verbal fluency and written ability through immersive and challenging units in history, geography, and science. These units provide ample opportunities for discussion and debate, nurturing critical thinking skills. Class texts are carefully selected to deepen understanding of the curriculum. In Key Stage 2, there is a strong emphasis on developing mathematical arithmetic skills. Concepts are taught with a focus on nurturing pupils’ reasoning abilities, encouraging them to justify and explain their answers. Additionally, pupils in Year 3 undergo CAT4 testing, which helps assess the potential of students, particularly those who may need additional support in English. For students joining our school during Key Stage 2, we offer extra assistance, especially in English, if required. At the end of each term, pupils undergo assessments covering reading comprehension, spelling, grammar, writing and maths, ensuring continuous progress and readiness for future academic challenges.
