Key Stage 1

Friendly, vibrant, welcoming and settled – this is where children are encouraged in a more independent school routine. For children aged 5-7, we provide structured learning in the core subjects of reading, writing, maths and science. This is balanced with a wide range of creative activities.

Welcome To Year 1
A warm welcome awaits the children in Year One, an exciting first step into Key Stage One. Now the children are ready to follow a more independent school routine and they begin to take on more responsibilities.
Every child is encouraged to participate fully in their own learning through creative activities, role play and educational visits. Their learning is enhanced with the use of interactive whiteboards, supported by lessons in the ICT suite.
The children play in the main Key Stage One playground gaining new social experiences with a wider circle of friends.

Welcome To Year 2
Year 2 is an exciting and challenging year.  Our SAT results are consistently in the best 5% in the country.
The focus of our year group is consolidating all the learning done so far through previous years and preparing the children for the demands of the Junior Department.  As the oldest children, Year 2 act as role model for the younger children and set a good example both in work and play. Children progress from Year 2 with a sense of achievement into the next Key Stage and we work closely with Key Stage 2 to ensure smooth transition to the next Key Stage.

We prepare children to confidently approach their end of Key Stage assessments and tests and ensure a balance between delivering the curriculum and offering children a wider range of experiences, including trips, cooking, sewing and working on laptops.
