A very warm welcome to the Lower Key Stage 2 page. These two years see the transition from Key Stage 1 into Key Stage 2.
Please find detailed below information regarding staff members working with your child, class groupings and additional information about the teaching and learning that will take place within the summer term.
Staffing
As well as your child’s class teacher, there will also be some other members of staff who may work with your child this year:
- Miss Maynard (Armstrong)
- Mrs Harrison (Armstrong/Galaxy)
- Miss Williams (Galaxy)
- Mrs Carr (Apollo)
- Miss Johnson (Rosebuds)

We are all looking forward to an exciting year ahead. If there are any problems or comments, please, in the first instance, contact your child’s class teacher. If you need to speak further then please contact the office.
Classes
As you will know, there are three classes within Lower Key Stage 2. The pupils are organised across the 3 classes to allow teaching that is tailored to the needs of the pupils. This enables great support and challenge for all pupils to help them reach their potential.

Reading
- Every child should have a home-reading book and should be encouraged to read every night (even if it is just one page).
- Please ensure your child’s reading log is signed once the book is complete so it can be changed within school.
- We will be assessing your child’s reading regularly and reviewing their reading stage accordingly. This will be based on your child’s fluency and their ability to answer comprehension questions on the text they are reading.
- The children will practise their reading skills within school in both their English lessons and whole class guided reading.
