Key Stage 2 - Juniors

National Curriculum / Cwricwlwm Cenedlaethol

Key Stage 2

The curriculum for children in Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 classes is based on the principles of the National

Curriculum for Wales 2008. This includes the following areas of learning:

English

Mathematics

Welsh ( 2nd Language)

Science

Art

Geography

History

Physical Education

Religious Education

Music

Design and Technology

Personal and Social Education

Information and Communication Technology 

At Key Stage 2 children build upon the skills they have learnt in Foundation Phase. Learning is usually whole-class but can also be group-based. Children are encouraged to develop independence and a love of learning. We have a team of teaching assistants to support learning at Key Stage 2. This team        supports a range of learners in literacy , maths and other subjects across the curriculum where

necessary.

We ensure that all tasks set, are appropriate to each child’s level of ability. When planning work for

children with Additional Educational Needs, including those who are gifted and talented, we give due

regard to information and targets contained in the children’s Individual Educational Plans (IEP’s). We have high expectations of all children, and we support every child to reach their potential.
