Key Stage 1 (KS1) covers ages 5 to 7 (Years 1 and 2). At this stage, children are introduced to more formal learning while continuing to build on the foundation established in EYFS. The KS1 curriculum includes core subjects such as English, Mathematics, Science, and Computing, along with foundation subjects like History, Geography, Art and Design, Music, and Physical Education (PE). The focus is on developing basic literacy and numeracy skills, fostering a sense of curiosity, and encouraging children to explore the world around them. Learning remains interactive and engaging, with a strong emphasis on phonics, reading, and number skills.
