Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6)

Key Stage 2 is an integral part of a student’s learning, where we ensure progression in the development of essential life skills. Students are encouraged to learn through a sense of enquiry and develop a keen desire to know. The school aims to provide a happy, nurturing environment where each child is treated as an individual. With our strong well-defined curriculum, students grow into being well-rounded, happy and responsible people.

At Key Stage 2, a wide range of learning strategies are used to make learning effective for the different learning styles of the students. Both the assessment strategies and learning strategies are planned to help develop independent reflective learners. Differentiated learning ensures there is no ceiling set to learning.

The focus in Key Stage 2 is to provide continuity and progression in learning for all students as they move from Key Stage 2 to the rigour of Key stage 3.

The curriculum in Key Stage 2 includes Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Art, Drama, French, Hindi, History, Geography, Music, ICT, PE and Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE).

Literacy and Numeracy are vital and we combine these with a rich and exciting curriculum through cross-curricular links established through the areas of Humanities (History and Geography), Science, PSHE, Dance, Drama and Music. The skills of independent learning and co-operation with others are developed along with attitudes and values. 

Homework is given to reinforce and extend the work done in the class. It also helps students to work independently and learn time-management. In addition to this, students are expected to read from a wide range of books available to them in the reading cupboard and the library.

The progress of each student is monitored through observations, work samples, photographs, e-portfolios and Parent-Teacher conferences. Student's achievement of the goals is individualised. We believe that each child develops at his/her own pace and we give students the time to evolve and feel ready for activities at each stage of the curriculum.

Partnership with parents is a powerful tool  to encourage student developments and we ensure parents are kept well informed of their children’s academic and social well being through Parent-Teacher Conferences, school diaries and phone calls. Parents are welcome to make appointments for informal conferences whenever necessary throughout the year.
