Hope English School

Key Stage 1

In Key Stage 1, the pupils are introduced gradually to academic concepts through interactive methods. Through KS1, the English Subject is designed to help pupils work towards being able to read reasonably quickly and puzzle out any new words that they encounter for themselves. They are also taught how to write in complete sentences.

In Mathematics, the focus is usually on being able to count, read and write numerals up to 100 and write in words up to 20. Students are also taught to understand the concepts of ‘More’ and ‘Less’ (Addition and Subtraction), especially on a Number Line.

Key Stage 1 Science aims to develop the learners’ inquisitiveness and observation skills. It also requires pupils to be able to identify and classify certain things, in addition to collecting data.
