Lower Key Stage 2
Lower Key Stage 2 are the children who are in Years 3 and 4. The children in Lower Key Stage 2 are organised into three classes. Class organisation mirrors that in Key Stage 1, where the classes are baseed predomintantly on age. Other factors are also considered when placing children into their Year 3 and 4 classes, such as the number of girls and boys or particular learning needs. Children within each class work at a level appropriate for their learning needs and all teachers differentiate lessons to ensure both support and challenge for those children who need it.
Children in the Year 3 and 4 classes are organised into "sets" for Maths and spelling, which means some children may have their Maths or spelling lessons with one of the other Year 3/4 teachers rather than their class teacher. This organisation enables lessons to be matched closely to the children's individual needs.
Children move into Year 3 at the end of Key Stage 1 and the teaching staff in Lower Key Stage 2 help the children with this transition.
When children complete Year 3 they move into Year 4 but they will move class to be with a different class teacher.
