These classes run for various levels at Key Stage 1, Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 and concentrate on the National Curriculum requirements. We focus primarily on Mathematics and English. For each level we select a number of core components that we feel make up the subject grades and concentrate on them. Below is an overview:
English:
Use the vocabulary and grammar of Standard English.
Formulate, clarify and express their ideas.
Listen, understand and respond appropriately to others.
Reading accurately, fluently and with understanding.
Presentational skills, accurate punctuation, correct spelling and legible handwriting.
Mathematics:
Try different approaches and find ways of overcoming difficulties that arise when they are solving problems.
Show that they understand a general statement by finding particular examples that match it.
Develop their own strategies for solving problems and are using these strategies both in working within mathematics and in applying mathematics to practical contexts.
Pupils convey mathematical meaning through consistent use of symbols.
