Curriculum
The year one curriculum is the beginning of Key Stage 1, this builds on the foundation stage profile and the stepping stones that your child would have achieved during the reception year. Year one introduces the children to the numeracy and literacy hours on a daily basis. In Literacy the framework is split into speaking and listening, reading and writing and children are provided with opportunities to experience all four strands. The Numeracy framework also has four areas which include; numbers and the number system, calculations, shape, space and measures and problem solving. These strategies will provide the children with the basic skills and knowledge in order to progress.
In addition to the core subjects we provide a modular curriculum. This is intended to create links between all subjects.
