What do children learn in Key Stage 1?
Key Stage 1 covers Years 1 and 2. It is when children develop the early reading, writing and mathematical skills they will use throughout primary school. School assessment is mainly teacher-led. The Year 1 Phonics Screening Check remains an important national check, while the end-of-Key-Stage-1 tests are optional for schools.
Parents can read the current statutory framework in the national curriculum for primary schools and the latest phonics screening guidance.
How our KS1 tuition helps
Young children learn best when explanations are clear, activities are varied and success is recognised. Our tutors use short, focused tasks to identify gaps, model useful methods and help children practise without feeling overwhelmed.
English tuition
English lessons may support phonics, decoding, reading fluency, comprehension, spelling, handwriting, punctuation and sentence building. The emphasis depends on the child’s current needs rather than a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Maths tuition
Maths lessons may cover number bonds, place value, addition and subtraction, early multiplication and division, measures, time, shape and simple problem solving. Tutors help children explain their thinking as well as reach an answer.
Who is this programme for?
KS1 tuition can help a child who needs to close a particular gap, practise schoolwork at a manageable pace, develop stronger routines or receive additional challenge. Tuition should support school learning and confidence; it cannot guarantee a particular assessment result.
