Year 1 to 2 (Key Stage 1: 5 - 7 years)
In our Year 1 and 2 classes the children continue their learning journey, accessing a more structured curriculum with their skills, knowledge and understanding further developed across the full range of subjects.
The core skills of literacy and numeracy are of course paramount to the curriculum and we use an in-depth tracking system that monitors the progress of every child and ensures they are on course to reach his or her full potential.

Academic Excellence
As children progress to Year 1 and 2, our focus shifts towards academic excellence. With a curriculum designed to challenge and inspire, we provide a solid foundation in core subjects, ensuring a smooth transition to the next educational level.
Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving
Our approach encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Through engaging activities and interactive lessons, we empower students to analyse, question, and develop the skills necessary for lifelong learning.
Individualised Learning Paths
Recognising the uniqueness of each child, our Year 1 and 2 program tailors learning experiences to individual strengths and needs. This personalised approach ensures that every student reaches their full potential.
Leadership and Responsibility
As pupils progress to Year 1 and 2, we encourage leadership qualities and a sense of responsibility. Opportunities for leading small projects, peer collaborations, and classroom responsibilities instil values of accountability and leadership from an early age.
Extended Curriculum
We know that school productions, assemblies, and public performances help to develop the children’s creativity and imagination.
We also facilitate local visits and trips further afield enriching their learning experiences and building their understanding of the world around them.
Wonderful Teaching Staff
A team of qualified and experienced teaching assistants help teachers in their role.
They introduce children of all ages to a world of learning that is far broader than just the National Curriculum – with Music, PE, Swimming, French and Wellbeing all part of the weekly timetable.

Parent Teacher Communication
We work closely with parents, ensuring they have detailed information throughout the year as to how their child is progressing.
This is one of the main reasons why the school achieves such consistently good results, with the majority of our children moving on to the Harpur Trust Schools in Bedford.
