An enriched, dynamic curriculum
From a child’s perspective the transition from Reception to the Pre-Prep is a seamless one. As the children move into Year 1 a more formal style of learning is introduced.
Numeracy and literacy skills form the bedrock of our teaching as it is through these areas that the children can then access the wide-ranging curriculum on offer.
Our broad and creative curriculum is designed to give all our children a thorough grounding in the core subjects of Literacy and Numeracy as well as the Arts, Humanities and Sport.
We promote high levels of achievement and effort and encourage pupils to take pride and greater responsibility in their work, building confidence and resilience along the way with regular assemblies where the children’s efforts and achievements are celebrated.
Jump down to:
Year 1
Literacy lessons are supplemented with phonics and spelling sessions and fine motor skills continue to be developed through discrete handwriting lessons.
There is a focus on subject-based learning that includes cross-curricular activities and the children are encouraged to be increasingly independent. Ongoing assessment takes place regularly making sure that the children are challenged and stretched whilst supported when needed.
Year 2
Children continue to develop their creative writing skills, maximising their growing vocabulary and understanding of early grammatical concepts.
They continue to enjoy solving real-life maths problems applying what they have learnt and demonstrating their knowledge and understanding. We promote high levels of effort and achievement and encourage our pupils to take pride and a greater responsibility in their work, building confidence and resilience as they prepare for the move to Prep in Year 3.
