Infant Years 1 and 2

At Key Stage 1 (ages 5-7) the school seeks to provide a rich and stimulating environment designed both to fulfil the academic requirements of the National Curriculum, and to promote an environment where the children are encouraged to develop an awareness of their individual strengths and how to make use of them.

English, Mathematics and Science are taught by the class teacher, and the teacher concerned builds differentiation into the planning of each subject. Each class has a dedicated lesson given by a specialist Information Communication and Technology (ICT) teacher, and is taught by the class teacher as a cross-curricular subject in each classroom. History and Geography are taught within topics, each year following set topics that cover the requirements of the National Curriculum for that subject. Art and Design, and Music are taught by the class teacher and follows the guidelines of the National Curriculum. In Year 2, a specialist French teacher teaches conversational French. Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) is taught by the class teacher and also in school and class assemblies. P.E. is taught by the class teacher and follows the guidelines laid down in the National Curriculum. At the end of Year 2 all children take part in the National statutory tests (SATs) at Key Stage 1, and the results are reported to parents.
