Key Stage One

Key stage one consists of the first two years in lower primary: year 1 and year 2. Year one is a transitional year where the children enter, having graduated from foundation stage, and require to be transitioned from continuous provision to a gradual increase in formalised learning. In year one the children build on their foundations, learning to read and write independently. Their mathematical abilities are significantly enhanced as they begin to explore numbers up to 100 and begin to skip count in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. By the end of year 2, the children should know their 2, 5 and 10 times tables. They should be able to confidently read and write and spell words that are phonetically plausible, in addition to most high-frequency words. During key stage one, all children embark on a reading and writing programme known as Read Write Inc. By the end of KS1 most children should have graduated from their phonics intervention ready for Key Stage 2.
