English National Curriculum
How Our Activities Meet National Curriculum Standards
Reception
Hands-On Education’s Reception resources support the Early Learning Goals with play-based and practical activities that nurture communication, literacy, numeracy, and understanding the world—giving every child the skills, curiosity, and confidence needed for a strong foundation and a smooth transition to Key Stage 1.
Key Stage One
KS1 resources cover all core and foundation subjects through hands-on exploration, cross-curricular projects, and creative skills practice. Every activity is mapped to the national curriculum, ensuring children progress in English, maths, science, humanities, and the arts, while building independence and curiosity as lifelong learners.
Key Stage Two
Hands-On Education’s Key Stage 2 activities support national curriculum goals by covering English, maths, science, arts, humanities, and more. Each resource includes hands-on practical tasks and creative challenges—ensuring children build deep subject knowledge, independence, and confidence for success at school and beyond.
