Key Stage 2 spans the ages of 7-11 years, when your child is in Year 3 to Year 6. In our school this is when your child is in Holly Class (Y3/4) and then in Willow Class (Y4/5) and Oak Class (Y6).

The programme of study for Key Stage 2 is set out in the national curriculum document (2014) Please click here.  Our curriculum grids for each of the classes can also be found on the Curriculum Provision page and they set out what children are learning in each subject, in detail by clicking Curriculum Provision.

We have carefully organised the national curriculum into topic themes. These are organised into a two year rolling programme.  The topics have been chosen to engage and excite our learners and with our whole school curriculum and curriculum drivers in mind. 

In May towards the end of Year 6, pupils sit SATs tests in reading, writing (including grammar, punctuation and spelling) and mathematics. The results of these tests are reported to you and to the Department for Education, alongside the final teacher assessments your child are awarded at the end of Key Stage 2 (end of Year 6).

Children in Year 6 will have opportunities throughout the year to practise similar types of tasks so that the format of the tests is familiar to them. The results of these tests are sent to the Department for Education and are reported to parents on each child’s annual report.
