Key Stage 2

Welcome to Key Stage Two at Heathcoat Primary School which consists of three mixed year 3 and 4 classes, and three mixed year 5 and 6 classes.

We work closely together and strive to develop each child’s potential through academic lessons and extra-curricular activities, building on what they have learnt in KS1. Creating a happy, secure and stimulating learning environment is very important to us, and through this we provide learning opportunities that challenge and extend children, encouraging them to deepen their understanding. Children are taught how to be more independent in their learning, in order to create more motivated and excited learners.

The children are taught the National Curriculum.  The curriculum comprises of nine subjects; English, Mathematics, Science, Technology (including information and communication technology (ICT), History, Geography, Art, Music and Physical Education.

Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE), Religious Education and Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) are taught in addition to the above subjects.

Children are encouraged and taught to become inquisitive learners, posing questions about what they would like to discover and learn. Children are encouraged to use discussion in paired work to enable them to clarify ideas and talk about their learning; work collaboratively in small groups and develop their ability to work as part of a team; work as part of a large whole class as well as individually and independently.

Reading, spelling, handwriting, English Writing and Mathematics are taught daily.
