Facilities
Key Stage 1
In KS1 the children focus on phonics as their main literacy lesson - the aim is to greatly improve their reading and spelling ability to help them access the rest of the curriculum. In short, if children cannot read confidently what is in front of them, they cannot fully access any other lesson in the curriculum.
Key Stage 2
In KS2 the children follow a literacy programme that focuses on improving and enhancing reading, writing, spelling, punctuation and grammar skills. The great thing about the programme that we use, is that it is suitable for a range of abilities, including those who perhaps do not struggle with key literacy skills.
Sixth Form
Based in the heart of Enfield Island Village, the FreshSteps sixth form hub is set across two sites, boasting state of the art facilities that mirror real-life working environments and top of the range equipment.The sixth form can host up to 40 pupils aged 14-19 and will offer a range of Vocational, BTEC and NVQ pathways. Our sixth from will continue to provide education in the core subjects of English and Maths.
