Year 1 provides an opportunity to experience a broad and creative curriculum. Students are supported in their transition from EYFS through a gradual progression towards a more formal and structured day and style of learning.
Throughout the year, students begin to develop their collaborative discussion skills through engagement with high quality texts. They are given a range of opportunities to practice spelling, handwriting, grammar and reading, and are supported to apply these skills when completing the phonics screening check at the end of the year and in their independent writing. Practical learning experiences ensure students develop a secure foundation of mathematical knowledge, which they are then able to apply to problem-solving tasks and to begin exploring wider mathematical concepts.
