Lower Key Stage 2 (Years 3-4) Science introduces your child to the living world, materials, and forces through hands-on, enquiry-based learning that builds curiosity and core scientific understanding.
Clear, age-appropriate learning with real progress you can see.
We focus on confidence, accuracy, and consistency using a clear assessment-to-plan approach.
Not sure which board your child is on? We'll check at your free Diagnostic Test.
Small groups (a maximum of six students) for personalised attention.
We teach through investigation and questioning — building genuine understanding, not rote memorisation.
Regular experiments, data handling, and real-world problem-solving to cement scientific concepts.
Clear targets and regular check-ins so students know exactly what to improve next.

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