Key Stage 1 at Little Scholars Academy
Building strong foundations in confidence, learning, and independence.
Key Stage 1 is an important stage where children begin to build stronger foundations in reading, writing, mathematics, science, creativity, and communication.
At this level, we help learners develop good learning habits, express their ideas clearly, work with others, and approach new challenges with confidence.
Our Approach
Structured Learning with Care and Encouragement
We combine clear academic teaching with practical, engaging, and child-centred learning. Our teachers guide children step by step, ensuring they understand key concepts while still enjoying the learning process.
Lessons are designed to be interactive, supportive, and age-appropriate, helping every child progress at their own pace.
What Children Learn
In Key Stage 1, children continue to develop strong foundations in:
English and Literacy
Reading fluency, phonics, spelling, handwriting, vocabulary, comprehension, storytelling, and early writing skills.
Mathematics
Number work, counting, addition, subtraction, shapes, patterns, measurement, problem-solving, and mathematical reasoning.
Science and Discovery
Exploring plants, animals, materials, the human body, the environment, and simple investigations.
Communication and Confidence

Creativity and Expression
