Welcome to Key Stage
All Key Stage 2 children are taught in Class 2 by Miss Brooks Mondays to Wednesdays. At the end of the week, the children from the rest of the federation join the children at St John’s Chapel Primary when they are then taught in either a Y3/Y4 class or a Y5/Y6 class as appropriate.
Although the Key Stage 2 children are taught within one class, separate activities are planned to meet the needs of the individual in lessons. Each child in Class 2 has their own iPad and laptop to support their independent learning.
All children have regular access to enrichment activities, including art, music and physical activities and are offered a place on the annual residential experience along with the other children within the federation.
