Many of the key aspects of the Kumon English programme that will specifically benefit a child in Key Stage 2 at school. The aim is that students develop a high standard of understanding in the foundations of the subject from which to develop their advanced skills.

With more focus than ever on raising standards in schools, there is increased attention on children’s grasp of the foundations of the key subjects of maths and English at Key Stage 2 in England and Wales.

How has Kumon earned its reputation for being one of the most successful methods of learning in the world? How can it suit children of all ages and abilities, and how does Kumon achieve this?

To mark the 300th anniversary of Daniel Defoe’s, 'Robinson Crusoe', the BBC has listed 100 ‘Novels That Shaped Our World’ ahead of a forthcoming BBC Two show of the same name.

At Kumon, we want children to have the ability and confidence to be able to think for themselves, both now, at university and for the rest of their lives. Increasingly in today's world, using their existing knowledge to form and try out hypotheses is a required skill that will also set them in good stead across all academic subjects. From studying with Kumon they will learn to make judgements based on their own logic, and we believe every child, regardless of age or school year, is able to do this with practice.
