Key Stage 1

In Key Stage 1 each morning, we learn Mathematics, English and Guided Reading. There is a big emphasis on teaching children Phonics to help them with their Reading and Writing. The children are enjoying using our Guided Reading scheme ‘Phonic Bugs’ and can enjoy and share their reading books electronically at home or in print.

In the afternoons, we study a range of subjects including Geography, History, Art and Design Technology, Music, Science, PE, RE, PATHS and Computing. These subjects are taught through our Topics. We aim for our curriculum to be creative and stimulating at all times and for it to ensure that the children really engage with and enjoy their learning in order to achieve high standards of academic attainment.

Learning through topics helps the children to make links, as our intent is for learning to be based on real experience and to recognise the importance of children’s independence and autonomy.
