Key Stage 2 Lead
At Key Stage 2, our curriculum is designed to provide exciting, purposeful, and meaningful learning opportunities that allow learners to consolidate and deepen their understanding, building on the foundations established in Key Stage 1.
We offer the full breadth of the National Curriculum to ensure a broad and balanced educational experience. Subjects taught include English, Maths, PSHE, PE, Phonics, Humanities (History and Geography), Art, Design & Technology, Science, Computing, Music, and Religious Education (RE). These subjects are delivered through discrete sessions and adapted to meet the individual needs and interests of each learner—whether they follow an informal, semi-formal, or formal learning pathway.
For our informal learners, teaching and learning are driven by subject-specific content presented in a multisensory way, with progress assessed using the five areas of the Engagement Model: Exploration, Realisation, Anticipation, Persistence, and Initiation.
Our Key Stage 2 curriculum is also designed to ignite curiosity and broaden learners’ interests, laying a strong foundation for their transition into Key Stage 3. We promote active engagement, independence, and confidence, equipping learners with the tools to express themselves and make their voices heard. Through this approach, we aim to prepare every learner for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
