Support Literacy and Numeracy Activities.
The literacy and numeracy skills expected of the pupils with whom you work.
The aim of the school literacy and numeracy policies is to establish the expected level of competency for the children. These policies are driven by the National Curriculum which sets out targets to be achieved in various subject areas at each of the Key Stages.
The Key Stages are as follows:
Key Stage 0 | Nursery and reception years (3–5 years old) | Now included as part of the Early Years Foundation Stage | Key Stage 1 | Years 1 to 2 (5–7 years old) | | Key Stage 2 | Years 3 to 6 (7–11 years old) | | Key Stage 3 | Years 7 to 9 (11–14 years old) | | Key Stage 4 | Years 10 to 11 (14–16 years old). | The exams at the end are typically of the GCSE level. | Key Stage 5 | Years 12 to 13 (16–18 years old). | The exams at the end are typically A-Levels, AS-Levels, NVQs or National Diplomas |
The literacy fundamental skills, knowledge and concepts of the subject are set out in “English in the National Curriculum” where they are categorised into three attainment targets: Speaking and
Listening, Reading, and Writing.
Depending on the Key Stage the children will refine their learning in English, for example:
In the Foundation Stage (Nursery and Reception) children shall be given opportunities to speak and listen and represent ideas in their activities and to use communication, language and literacy in every part of the curriculum.
At Key Stage One (Years 1 and 2), children shall learn to speak confidently and listen to what others have to say. They shall begin to read and write independently. They shall use language to explore their own experiences and imaginary worlds.
At Key Stage Two (Years 3 and 6), children shall learn to change the way they speak and write to suit different situations, purposes and audiences. They shall read a range of texts and respond to different layers of meaning in them. They shall explore
