About This Stage

What does KS2 Science cover?

Our KS2 Science programme covers Living World, Materials & Matter, and Forces & Energy across Years 3 to 6. Lower KS2 and Upper KS2 reflect the progression in content and complexity across the key stage.

Is KS2 Science relevant for students at IB, American, or CBSE schools?

Yes. The core scientific thinking developed at KS2 — enquiry skills, reasoning about evidence, practical investigation — is required across all major curricula. Our programmes build these transferable skills regardless of your child's school framework.

Our Sessions

How many students are in a KS2 Science session?

A maximum of four students per tutor, with an average of two. Sessions remain small enough for every child to receive genuine individual attention.

How often should my child attend?

Most KS2 students attend one to two sessions per week. Science sessions typically complement Maths and English, and we can advise on the right mix during your free Diagnostic Test.

Subjects & Curriculum

Will KS2 Science help my child prepare for secondary school?

Yes. Our Upper KS2 Science programme focuses on building the investigative and reasoning skills that secondary school science demands from day one. From GCSE onwards, Science splits into Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as separate subjects.

Do you cover working scientifically?

Yes. Working scientifically — fair testing, variables, recording data, drawing conclusions — is embedded throughout our KS2 Science programme. These skills are essential for success at GCSE and beyond.

Progress & Results

How do you track progress at KS2?

Progress is tracked every session and parents receive regular written updates. At KS2 we also provide termly progress reviews so you always have a clear picture of where your child stands.

Getting Started

My child is in Year 6 — is it too late to start Science?

Not at all. Year 6 is actually one of the most impactful times to start. Securing strong scientific foundations before secondary school makes the transition to separate sciences much smoother.
