The structure of Key Stage Two
There are four Year Groups within Key Stage Two; Year Three – Year Four – Year Five – Year Six
There are usually two classes in each Year Group
Curriculum
The classes within each Year Group cover the same curriculum and the two teachers in each Year Group plan closely together to ensure that the children cover the same curriculum and have assess to the same resources.
Our Curriculum in Key Stage Two is balanced and broad-based and follows the requirements of the National Curriculum.
Core Subjects
The three core subjects taught in all the Year Groups are Mathematics, English and Science. Some Year Groups in the Key Stage set for mathematics and English.
Librarian
We have a librarian who takes each class once a week and who covers some areas of the English Curriculum.
Foundation Subjects
The foundation subjects taught are Information Technology, Design Technology, Geography, History, Art, Music and Physical Education. Citizenship, Personal, Social and Health Education is also taught. (PSE)
Languages
Pupils in Year Five and Six are taught French and all pupils in the Key Stage are taught Arabic. These subjects are taught by Specialists teachers.
Other Specialists Lessons
These are Physical Education, Music, Design Technology and Art. Year Six usually have their ICT lessons taken by a Specialist Teacher.
Homework
As well as daily practice in reading, spellings and tables, students will be set additional homework tasks each evening of the school week. Each Year Group has a time allocation for homework and a homework timetable. Homework tasks are to consolidate and extend the work done by pupils in the classroom. Longer tasks are sometimes set where pupils will take more than one evening to complete them and some personal research projects are set especially in Years Five and Six that may take several weeks to complete. Every child in Years Four, Five and Six is given a new homework diary each year. The diary should be kept in the plastic folder provided for homework and brought to school every day. We ask parents to sign this diary every Tuesday. The class teacher will then check it every Wednesday in school. We also ask parents to sigh their child's homework assignment before it is returned to school as we feel this enables parents to be aware of what their children are doing in school. The Homework Diary can also be used as a means of communication between home and school. In Year Three parents can use the Reading Record Book as a communication tool.
