Year 1

The children begin Key Stage 1 of the National Curriculum. They will have daily Literacy and Mathematics lessons as well as a variety of other subjects, including, Information, Communication and Technology (ICT), Religious Education (R.E.), Music, Personal, Social and Health Education (P.S.H.E.) and Physical Education (P.E.).

The children follow a book-banding system and each child has their own reading record book which records their progress. We teach other subjects in block sessions. These include Science, History, Geography, Art and Design and Technology (DT).

In Year 1 we aim to work closely with parents in order to help the children make good progress in their basic literacy and maths skills. We consider parental support to be essential.
