Key Stage 2 – English & Maths

Key Stage English and Maths Booster Classes.

The National Curriculum is divided into four Key Stages. At the end of each Key Stage a formal assessment is made on the child’s progress.

Booster Classes

These booster 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 make up the subject grades and teach them using a structured approach supported with examples. Our programme of teaching prepares children for the key stage assessment providing them with real exam type questions to improve grades.
