KEY STAGE 1

In Year 1 and Year 2, children are encouraged to become independent learners by building upon the skills they have developed during the EYFS, which ensures a smooth transition between the two phases. Their learning takes place in indoor and outdoor learning environments.

We have a real commitment to creativity, and aim to make each child’s learning vivid, real, engaging and exciting and to provide challenges that encourage their development in all areas.

We also believe that it is important that all children improve their own knowledge and understanding, which is why information is cleverly woven into each subject by our experienced staff, who make cross-curricular links and ensure that all the children’s questions are answered.

Phonics is taught to all children in daily sessions that are differentiated in accordance with pupils’ abilities, starting in Nursery or Reception and continuing throughout Year 1 and Year 2. We use the well-known and recommended scheme of RML, as well as supporting texts from schemes such as ‘Read Write Inc’. Pupils also benefit from regular guided and individual reading sessions.
