Key Stage 2
Key Stage 2 takes children from the early basics to secondary-ready. Over Years 3 to 6 they master the four operations, fractions and decimals, extended writing, and the science that underpins KS3 — finishing with the Year 6 SATs. Each subject below is curriculum-aligned and teacher-written, with plenty of SATs-style practice.
- English: Reading
Reading in Key Stage 2 grows from decoding to deep understanding. Children read widely, work out unfamiliar words from their roots, and learn to retrieve, infer and summarise — the exact skills tested in the Year 6 reading SATs. Every resource here is written by teachers and curriculum-aligned.
- English: Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling
The KS2 grammar, punctuation and spelling (GPS) test rewards precise knowledge. This subject covers word classes, clauses, verb tenses, advanced punctuation and the statutory spelling lists — taught clearly and practised the way the SATs ask.
- Mathematics
Maths in Key Stage 2 builds fluency, reasoning and problem-solving toward the Year 6 SATs. Children master the four operations, fractions, decimals and percentages, and meet ratio, early algebra and statistics. Every topic is curriculum-aligned and packed with SATs-style practice.
- Science
Science in Key Stage 2 spans biology, chemistry and physics. Children investigate living things and habitats, materials and their changes, and forces, light, sound, electricity and space — all through the working-scientifically approach the curriculum requires.
- History
History in Key Stage 2 builds a chronological story of Britain and the ancient world. Children journey from the Stone Age through Roman, Anglo-Saxon and Viking Britain, and study early civilisations such as Ancient Egypt and Greece.
- Geography
Geography in Key Stage 2 widens children’s view of the world. They build map and locational skills, explore physical processes like rivers and volcanoes, and study human themes such as settlements, trade and resources.
- Computing
Computing in Key Stage 2 turns curiosity into capability. Children program with sequence, selection and repetition, learn how networks and the internet work, and develop the online safety habits that matter for life.
- Creative & Performing Arts
The arts develop expression and discipline together. In Key Stage 2 children refine art and design techniques, perform and compose in music, and build confidence through drama and performance.
- PE & Wellbeing
Physical and personal development carry through Key Stage 2. Children develop athletics, gymnastics and dance, apply tactics in competitive games, and explore mental and physical health and safe relationships through PSHE.

A little help getting started
How should I choose a resource?
Use the topic and stage as a starting point, then read the individual resource instructions. Parents and pupils can ask a teacher for help choosing work that fits their current learning.
Why might a resource be unavailable?
The listings follow current resource visibility and account settings. Some activities require sign-in, a membership or another permission. Browse another topic or return to the learning library to explore.
What do the learning records tell me?
The tools and trackers depend on the resource. Opening a document is separate from submitting practice or recording completion, and none alone establishes mastery.
