an enriching curriculum
Years 1 and 2 are an exciting stage in a child's educational journey, as pupils build on the strong foundations established in the Early Years and develop increasing confidence, independence and responsibility in their learning. Through a carefully balanced curriculum, children are encouraged to think critically, embrace new challenges and develop a genuine love of learning.
Literacy and numeracy remain at the heart of the school day, ensuring pupils develop excellent communication, reading and mathematical skills. A strong emphasis on phonics and reading helps children become fluent, confident readers, while engaging and challenging English and Mathematics lessons provide the foundations for future academic success.
Specialist Teaching
Specialist teaching is introduced from Year 1, providing pupils with access to expert subject knowledge and dedicated learning environments, including our Art Room. A wide range of additional subjects, including Computing, Drama, Religious Studies, Reasoning and PSHE, further enriches the curriculum and supports the development of well-rounded, confident learners.
Beyond the classroom, pupils benefit from regular swimming lessons and a variety of experiences that encourage personal growth, teamwork and resilience. By the end of Key Stage 1, children have developed the academic foundations, independence and enthusiasm for learning that prepare them exceptionally well for the next stage of their education.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR, CLUBS & TRIPS
Our pupils excel beyond the classroom
Our pupils in Years 1 & 2 have a trip or workshop each term. With a wealth of museums, theatres and locations to visit, our trips are carefully planned to support and extend the classroom learning, often including tailored workshops.
There are two clubs a week run by the teachers in Key Stage 1 which parents may sign children up to. Ballet Lessons with our Ballet Teacher who visits the school each Wednesday are available at an extra cost. Clubs change each term and are run after school until 4.45pm.
After school care is available each day until 6pm.
