We have compiled these pages to provide the information about teaching methods that you need as a parent, or carer, to support your children in school. Teaching may vary from place to place but the broad principles remain the same. It is always a good idea to check with class teachers if there is any uncertainty about teaching practices. This will save confusing your child, and teachers are usually happy to help.
You will also find other important information of broader interest.

In Key Stage 1 children may progress in learning at a different rate. This is very normal in any class and the teacher will be preparing the lessons to allow for this. It is important that all the basics are thoroughly understood before progressing to more difficult work. Children vary in their concentration and learning skills so try and assess and encourage your child in all these areas.

Key Stage 2 is the time when children have to mature and learn in all subjects so we have included a page on what is taught at this time. This is useful to parents at home in assisting their child in all areas of the curriculum. English and Maths are very important subjects so we have included pages to help you encourage your children in these. It is very important that during this stage your child has good organisational skills to help them mature, progress and to ensure that they have the opportunity of entry to the Secondary school which suits them.

At Key Stage 3 and especially at Key Stage 4 pupils should be capable of working and studying on their own. It is useful for parents to know what opportunities are available and to be aware of these so that they can encourage and advise their children. Information at this level does change from year to year so ensure that you are as up-to date as you can be to help with decision making.
