Overview

At Key Stage Two children continue to follow a challenging and engaging curriculum with a strong focus on literacy and language, which contributes to increased rates of progress for our children.

A continued topic-based approach to much of the curriculum helps the children to apply and make sense of their learning and to make connections between different subjects, whilst constantly reinforcing and practicing key skills, such as reading, writing and numeracy taught in their daily literacy, phonics and mathematics sessions.

Additionally, primary colleagues work closely with colleagues from the secondary phase to utilise the skills of subject specialist staff to work with both children and teachers and to share best practice from both phases in Physical Education and languages. This joint working has the twin aims of ensuring children achieve well above national expectations in Key Stage Two and that they may continue to make rapid progress as they move towards and into the secondary phase.

Children are set clear learning objectives and sharp, measurable success criteria within each lesson or sequence of lessons. This enables staff and children to evaluate their own and each other’s learning and set targets for future improvement. This daily, ‘formative’ assessment is used to plan next steps for children to ensure they make maximum progress.

The school closely measures attainment and progress at key points in each school year and across a child’s school career using Early Years Foundation Stage or National Curriculum. Teachers compare pupils’ attainment and progress with national expectations, against their own prior attainment and against different groups within the school. This information is used to set targets for groups and individuals and to identify where additional support is needed.
