Key Stage 1

Welcome to Key Stage 1…

We have 5 classes:

  • Firefly Class, taught by Mrs Francis.
  • Bumblebee Class, taught by Miss Brackpool, Mrs Chappell.
  • Butterfly Class, taught by Miss Naughten.
  • Dragonfly Class, taught by Mrs Archer.
  • Ladybird Class, taught by Mrs Lane and Mrs Mercer.

In Key Stage 1 all children follow the National Curriculum for the core subjects; English, Mathematics, Science and all the foundation subjects; Design and Technology, Computing, History, Geography, Art, Music, Physical Education and PSHE.

The children are taught through whole class teaching, small groups and are taught the tools to become independent learners. All the teachers plan their work together as a team and then personalise their lessons to the needs of their children. Each teacher has a teaching assistant in the classroom and we aim to provide as much 1-1 support as possible.

We keep careful records of each individual child’s progress and invite parents to Pupil Progress meetings in the Autumn and Spring term as well as sending home Reports of Achievement at the end of each school year.
