Welcome to Key Stage 1! Our KS1 provision is designed to give children in Years 1 and 2 a wonderful start to their primary school journey. Here, learning is fun, engaging, and tailored to each child’s needs.

We have three mixed-year group classes—Blue, Orange, and Yellow—which allow children to learn from and alongside peers of different ages, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. Our nurturing staff work closely with each child, ensuring they feel confident, supported, and excited to explore new ideas.

In KS1, children build on the foundations of early learning, developing essential skills in reading, writing, maths, and the wider curriculum. But learning isn’t just about books—our children enjoy a variety of hands-on activities, creative projects, and opportunities to grow socially and emotionally.

We pride ourselves on creating a warm, welcoming environment where every child is valued, encouraged, and inspired to reach their full potential. With the guidance of our dedicated team, KS1 at our school is a place where curiosity is celebrated, friendships flourish, and children develop a lifelong love of learning.

Each week your child will bring home a set of spellings to learn that are linked to what they are learning in their phonics sessions. The children can also practice these using the Spelling Shed website and their login details.

In addition, we ask that you read with your child at least four times a week, to help them consolidate the reading skills we are teaching in school.

Maths homework can be accessed via the Maths Shed website, using your child’s login details.
