Lower Key Stage Two 2026 - 2027

Welcome to our Lower Key Stage Two Unit

Welcome to Lower Key Stage Two at Richmond Academy. Years 3 and 4 are an important stage in children’s learning as they develop greater independence and deepen their knowledge and understanding across the curriculum. Children are encouraged to become confident readers, writers, mathematicians and problem-solvers, while making meaningful connections between their learning.
