Key Stage 2 English Language

About KS2 English

KS2 English is where children in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 (ages 7-11) become confident readers and writers. Our teacher-written quizzes turn the England National Curriculum into short, friendly practice that works at home and in the classroom, and supports Year 6 SATs preparation.

Children build skills across reading comprehension, spelling and vocabulary, grammar and punctuation, and writing for different purposes. Because each quiz is only 10 questions long, it is easy to practise little and often, spot what needs revisiting, and build confidence without feeling overwhelmed.

Parents can use these quizzes as quick, guided revision. Choose a topic your child is learning at school, play together or independently, then use the instant feedback to talk through any tricky questions. Replaying the same quiz a few days later helps knowledge stick and improves accuracy.

For official curriculum guidance, see GOV.UK: National curriculum in England: English programmes of study.
