Key Stage 1 & 2

Key Stage 1 & 2

Home > Curriculum  > Teaching & Learning > Key Stage 1 & 2

In Key Stage 1 and 2 the curriculum is made up of core subjects: English, Maths, Science, RE and Computing.

This year, we have really reflected on how to make the curriculum in Key Stage One and Key Stage Two as engaging as possible, in order to prepare our children for life within and outside of school. We teach a combination of phonics and reading strategies to support with reading; we use a high quality, text-based approach to our writing cycles; and we provide high-level maths lessons, which are designed to develop fluency and reasoning skills. All of these skills are developed upon from learning in the Early Years all the way to Year 6.

Additional curriculum areas include:

  • Art and Design
  • History
  • Geography
  • Music
  • Physical Education
  • Relationships and Health Education.

You can find out more about how we teach our curriculum in more detail, by visiting our individual subject pages on our website, which can be found here.
