What Year 2 covers

Year 2 builds on Year 1. Pupils read with increasing fluency and comprehension, write coherent short paragraphs, learn to tell the time, work with money (pence and pounds), explore fractions of shapes and quantities, and consolidate addition/subtraction to 100.

End-of-KS1 assessments

At the end of Year 2, teachers carry out statutory assessments of reading, writing, mathematics, and science. Although the formal externally-marked KS1 SATs were ended in 2023, teacher assessment continues. Pupils who didn’t pass the Phonics Screening Check in Year 1 retake it in Year 2.
