Age Group of Children in KS1
Key Stage 1 is the first formal stage of the UK National Curriculum. It follows the play-based Reception year and runs for two school years. Virtual Academy helps children use these two years to master phonics, early reading, handwriting and number sense, so they arrive in KS2 ready to learn independently.
| Year group | Age group |
|---|---|
| Year 1 | 5 to 6 years old |

Personalised Lesson Plan
Every child learns at a different pace. Our tutors give 1-to-1 online English lessons and plan each session around your child, strictly aligned with the UK Primary School National Curriculum.
Building Core Literacy
Early reading skills, phonics, basic grammar (punctuation, capital letters, full stops) and simple sentence structures, including practice for the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check.
Interactive Storytelling
Our tutors don’t just teach, they make learning fun. Digital storybooks and read-aloud activities grow vocabulary and a love of reading.
KS1 Maths Tutor
Building Number Familiarity
Digital counters, number lines, visual blocks and shapes help children understand concepts rather than just memorise them.

Practical, real-life examples help students master addition and subtraction, build quick mental maths techniques and think critically.

Sequences, patterns, time and simple measures are introduced through games and visual tasks.
KS1 Science Tutor
Engaging Online Science Tutoring
Our science tutors open up the world of science through “Why” and “How” questions that build the habit of scientific enquiry.
Understanding Real-Life Science
Beyond reading, children learn about living things, everyday materials (wood, plastic, metal) and seasonal changes through real examples and visuals.
Interactive Science That Is Fun to Learn
Digital drawing, animations and a virtual science world make complex topics easier and more enjoyable.
KS1 Computer Science

Interactive flashcards for letters and sounds, everyday vocabulary (colours, animals, seasons, feelings, family), then reading and writing through poems, stories and visual lessons.
Islamic Studies & Quran
KS1 Quran Tutors
We offer online Quran classes for early-years children. Parents trust us because they see their child’s progress in Islamic knowledge, Quran reading and interest in learning more, including Islamic etiquette (Tarbiyah) and practices.
Noorani Qaida & Basic Tajweed
Qualified tutors start with Noorani Qaida and basic Tajweed, focusing on correct pronunciation of the Arabic alphabet, step by step.
Quran Reading (Nazra)
Once Qaida is complete, tutors guide children into Quran reading using Quranic visuals that help them learn faster.

EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) covers Nursery and Reception, ages 3 to 5, and is mainly play-based. KS1 covers Years 1 and 2, ages 5 to 7, and introduces more formal reading, writing and number work.
They are booked after school or at weekends, so they sit alongside school hours and homework. Sessions are short and flexible, so your child is never overloaded.
After lessons you receive feedback from the tutor, along with regular short assessments and a monthly progress report, so you always know what your child has learned and what comes next.
Most KS1 children learn best in 30 to 45 minute sessions, with a short activity break built in to keep them focused and happy.
