Key Stage 2, Year 3 curriculum

In Year 3 children are taught a wide range of subjects and are assessed throughout the year. Throughout lower key stage 2 children are assessed using basic, advancing or deep understanding of their learning, using the milestone criteria.

Subjects we cover

• English: Writing, Reading and Communication
• Mathematics: To know and use numbers, multiplication and division, fractions, properties of shapes, position, direction, movements, measures, statistics, and algebra

• Art and Design Technology
• Computing
• Music
• Physical Education

Although these subjects are considered discrete, many of these subjects are taught through a themed approach using a range of exciting topics during the school year. In Year 3 our Christian school values are deeply embedded and each day we discuss our belief of the day linking to our focused value of the half term.
