Key Stage 2 (Ages 7-11)

An Enriched Curriculum (Years 3 & 4)

Key Stage 2 begins in Years 3 & 4 (ages 7-9) where a caring environment enables your child to grow in confidence, explore, discover and develop as an individual whilst being part of the school community.

In lessons we aim to help the children become more independent in their learning, whilst giving them the support they need to achieve their personal best.

Your child will be taught mainly by their class teacher but will have specialist teachers for subjects such as Art, DT, Music, Spanish and PE. For some subjects and activities, children are mixed across the year group, expanding their social horizons. Lessons are interactive, fun and practical to bring the subjects to life. Trips and experiences are organised to reinforce the children’s learning and bring to life their studies in the classroom.

We offer an enriched curriculum where every child learns a stringed instrument in Year 3 and takes the English speaking Board Examination in Year 4. It’s where your child will have the opportunity to represent the school at sport for the first time and take part in drama productions or concerts.

Challenge and Stimulation (Years 5 & 6)

As they move into Years 5 & 6 (ages 9-11), your child’s lessons will all be with subject specialists, enabling a greater depth of study. The broad curriculum continues, along with a wider range of trips and experiences to stimulate learning.

Learning Support is on hand for those who need extra help and stretch and challenge opportunities are available for all to enjoy. Dedicated Form Tutors get to know each child very well during tutor time, monitoring all round progress and well-being.

A carefully structured timetable prioritises literacy and numeracy but also allows ample time to study a wide curriculum that includes ICT, Spanish, Science, Humanities, Art, Drama, Sport and Music.

The curriculum also allows for all prep (homework) to be completed within the school day so home time is family time.

Saturday morning school is optional to accommodate all the opportunities your child will be keen to get immersed in.
