Key Stage 1 (KS1) – Years 1 and 2 (Ages 6-7)
While the Class teacher continues to play an integral role in the pupils’ education as well as personal development, it is this part of the School that sees the gradual introduction of specialist teachers in the different subject areas.In Year 1 children continue to progress through the reading scheme and weekly spelling tests are given. In Year 2 formal homework is introduced, with the children receiving 20 minutes of homework per day

Pupils should become progressively more independent learners by the time they reach Years 3, 4, 5 and 6. On entering KS2 in Year 3, there is an increase in the impetus towards increasing the levels of commitment and achievement expected of the children, competitive inter-school sporting fixtures and project work are introduced. A Forest School lesson also takes place weekly for Year 3.The syllabus is designed to guide and prepare the children fully for entrance examinations, scholarships and awards to senior schools at the end of Year 6.
Clubs & Activities
This is an example of our clubs and activities programme. The programme varies slightly from term to term and the lists are updated and distributed to parents at the beginning of each term.
Pastoral Care
A closely monitored balance of social and academic progress is essential. Happy children work better! The degree of pastoral care given to each child is important in its development into cheerful, confident individuals. As a result every member of staff takes a keen interest in the children’s social and emotional welfare, with Class Teachers regularly monitoring their own pupils’ academic development.
