Key Stage One

Sharing a book in the libraryThe computer suiteKey Stage One comprises of two year groups with children between the ages of five and seven.  Year 1 concentrates on the transition from the Foundation Stage, building on Personal and Social skills with this specific year having access to play in our shared area and outside secured area.  Also in Year 1, building on prior knowledge from the Foundation Stage is crucial, as these children are still very young. Progress is carefully monitored.

Year 2 is the SATs year when the children are encouraged to be even more independent and to take charge of their own thinking and learning.  During the year the children still study Literacy, Numeracy and other subjects;  however, towards the end of the year there is an emphasis on the transition from not only Year 2 to Year 3, but from Key Stage One to Key Stage Two.
