Key Stage 2

Children are offered a broad and balanced education across the primary years at LCIS.

The primary curriculum is based on the English National Curriculum with its two Key Stages:

• Years 1 and Year 2 of primary school are known as KEY STAGE 1
• Years 3 to 6 of primary school are known as KEY STAGE 2

Key Stage 2 is for children aged 7-11 years and we aim to nurture responsible, independent and confident citizens who have the desire to discover and learn with the skills at the end of Year 6 to enable them to move smoothly into our secondary school.

In Key Stage 2 the following subjects are taught on a regular basis:

• English / Literacy
• Mathematics / Numeracy
• Science
• Design and Technology
• Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
• History
• Geography
• Art and Design
• French
• Music
• Physical education (PE)
• Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE)

Our curriculum, based on the English National Curriculum, maintains continuity, progression and consistency across the different year groups.

High quality teaching and learning at LCIS ensures excellent progress, further enhanced by the wonderful surroundings of the school and the diversity of our international community. Children learn through each other and the opportunities given to them.

Our Curriculum Outline gives the themes and topics within each subject and year group that offers appropriate and stimulating topics over the year. Guidance from the national strategies in Numeracy and Literacy are also followed from Foundation 2 through to Year Six.

We place a strong emphasis on developing the whole child so that children have all the skills they need to study independently as well as self-confidence in their relationships and own abilities.

Children should enjoy coming to school and at LCIS this sentiment is clear through their actions every day.
