Throughout Years 5 and 6, Key Stage Two (KS2), children continue to develop their independence, meta cognition (learning to learn) and problem-solving skills.  Pupils are exposed to a wide range of modern and classic stories, novels and poems, and learn how to use more advanced grammatical techniques in their writing.  In maths, real-life problem-solving opportunities give all students of every ability the chance to apply recently learned maths skills in a fun, but challenging way to achieve maths mastery.  

Regular philosophical discussions within each class help the children to expand their thinking about 'big' ideas and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.  A wide range of ever-changing topics are covered and wherever possible each is taught across the curriculum to facilitate a rich learning experience.  Visits and in-school experiences take place regularly, such as workshops from drama companies, field trips to the local area and exciting residential visits.
