❓ Frequently asked questions
What Maths topics should Year 1 children know?
Year 1 Maths covers counting to 100, reading and writing numbers to 20, place value (tens and ones), number bonds to 10 and 20, simple addition and subtraction, counting in 2s/5s/10s, halves and quarters, measuring length and height, telling time to o'clock and half past, and recognising coins and notes.
What times tables do children learn in KS1?
In KS1 (Years 1–2), children learn the 2, 5, and 10 times tables. By the end of Year 2, they should be able to recall and use these fluently. Times tables for 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 12 are introduced in KS2.
How can I help my child with KS1 Maths at home?
Use everyday opportunities — counting fruit, sharing food equally, paying with coins, reading the clock, or sorting objects by shape and size. Short, regular practice (10 minutes a day) is more effective than long sessions. BBC Bitesize and Twinkl both offer free worksheets and games for KS1 Maths.

❓ Frequently asked questions
What English skills do children need for KS2 SATs?
KS2 English SATs (Year 6) assess reading comprehension, grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Key areas include inference and deduction, vocabulary in context, subordinate clauses, apostrophes, commas, and the Year 5–6 statutory spelling list. BBC Bitesize has free SATs revision resources for all these areas.
How is KS2 English different from KS1?
KS2 English builds significantly on KS1. Children move from simple sentences and phonics to complex multi-paragraph writing, inference in reading, formal and informal registers, and sophisticated grammar (relative clauses, modal verbs, passive voice). Spelling patterns become more complex, including prefixes, suffixes, and etymology.
