What is Key Stage 1?
Many primary and secondary schools follow the national curriculum. This tells schools what subjects they must teach and what standards they have to meet to make sure kids all learn the same things at the same pace.
From the age of 5, the national curriculum is divided into “key stages”. Each key stage ends with an official evaluation of your child’s progress and is the beginning of their journey towards one day sitting GCSEs and A-Levels. Here is a brief guide to the system:
Key Stage 1 covers pupils aged between 5 and 7 in Year 1 and Year 2.
Key Stage 2 of the national curriculum is for kids aged between 8 and 11 in years 3 to 6.
Key Stage 3 is for children aged between 12 and 14 in Years 8 and 9.
Key Stage 4 covers teenagers doing their GCSEs.
Key Stage 5 is for those doing A-Levels, AS-Levels, National Diplomas, or NVQs.
What KS1 tests will my child have to do?
At the end of KS1 Year 1, your child will be given a “phonics screening check” to measure their reading ability and check for any problems. Year 2 of KS1 ends with official exams to test English and maths skills along with teacher evaluations of abilities in maths, science, reading and writing.
In Key Stage 1, as well as English, maths and science, your child will study art and design, computing, design and technology, geography, history, languages, music, religious education and PE. Many schools will also teach some extra, optional subjects.
Getting a good start in Key Stage 1 is crucial for your child’s future. However, with ever-growing class sizes, mountains of paperwork and a complex curriculum, your kid’s teachers are probably being stretched to their limits. Giving every child the education they need just isn’t possible in today’s classrooms.
Parents who want their children to have the greatest possible opportunities often look for private tutors to take up the slack and boost their performance. But if you want to find the best KS1 tutor, where do you turn?
How do I find the best KS1 tutor?
If you try to find a tutor for traditional face-to-face classes you’re going to be limited to whoever happens to be available locally.
Even if you are lucky and find a fairly decent one, you have to deal with negotiating a gap in their schedule as well as getting your kid to and from wherever the tutor gives their classes a few times a week.
Online there are many options for parents looking for tutors and in some ways, such a range of choices can actually be a bad thing. You’re faced with people from all over who have decided to offer their services as a tutor.
