Key Stage One

Welcome to Key Stage One

We are delighted to welcome you to the Key Stage One page and to be part of your child's educational journey as they continue to grow, develop, and thrive during Years 1 and 2. This is an exciting stage where children begin their more formal learning in a supportive and engaging environment. Our aim is to help every child become confident, curious, and motivated learners, while continuing to nurture their emotional and social development.

Explore more about our KS1 provision, curriculum maps, and how we support every child to thrive by clicking the tabs to look through specific components of the Year 1 and 2 classes. The Topic Overviews are especially exciting; they contain hyperlinks to help you support your child's learning.

Key Stage 1: Building Brilliant Blocks for Learning!

Building Strong Foundations

We bring the curriculum to life through creative teaching, engaging topics, and practical experiences that make learning meaningful and memorable. Our caring environment encourages every child to feel safe, confident, and excited to learn.

We value strong partnerships with parents and carers, knowing that working together ensures the best outcomes for every child.

While some resources may be used with specific groups within Key Stage 1, every child learns differently. We cater to individual needs and ensure all our pupils have the support they need to flourish.
