Key Stage Two

In the four years that children are in Key Stage Two (7-11 years of age) at Harrow they experience a wide, varied curriculum and an increasing range of activities. During this phase, the children have opportunities to learn about topics ranging from the Ancient Egyptians to World War Two, India to London and Metals and Magnets to Keeping Healthy.

We aim for an exciting, broad and balanced curriculum and teachers keep the children’s experiences and interests at the forefront of their planning. Physical Education, Music and Thai Studies are taught by specialist teachers. In Years 5 and 6 the children also receive specialist teaching in Modern Foreign Languages.

The children are required to participate in Extra-Curricular Activities that take place each day after timetabled lessons. Activities for this Key Stage include: Football, Basketball, Circus Entertaining, Cookery, Recorders, Swimming, Art and Tae Kwon Do.

A highlight of each year in this Key Stage is the Expedition Week that takes place in January. During this week all the children spend at least one night away from home in a variety of locations, these include Khao Yai National Park, Krabi and Kanchanaburi. This experience is integrated into the curriculum as an important part of the children’s education and a way of developing their independence.
