KS1

The curriculum taught in Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) is broad, balanced, engaging and challenging.

We regard the acquisition of traditional skills of reading, writing and numeracy as vital to our children’s future learning and plan the teaching programme carefully for continuity and progression.

That all our children are working to the very best of their ability and having fun whilst doing so remains our core principal. The foundations for future learning are set in the Reception year (or in our Nursery for those who join us at nursery level) through both structured and child initiated activities.  As children progress through the school we focus increasingly on academic skills, aiming to expose them to as many learning and developmental opportunities as possible.

We follow the National Curriculum. We plan for an integrated curriculum which means that some subjects are not taught discretely but rather combined appropriately together into themes or topics.
