KS1 pupils using the scooters

We have four classes in our Key Stage 1, two in both year groups. The children are aged from 5 years to 7.

Each class also has at least one Teaching Assistant who works every morning. Year 1 have some afternoon support from a teaching assistant. Year 2 has some hours of extra support which is generally used to deliver “catch up” programmes to groups of children.

Key Stage 1 Curriculum

In Key Stage 1 we start every day with a morning activity. The core subjects of maths and English are taught every day (usually in the morning), we also have a daily phonics session.  The other subjects are science (also a core subject), information & communication technology (ICT), history, geography, art, design & technology (D&T), physical education (PE), religious education (RE), music and personal, social and health education (PSHE). Most days finish with a story being read to the class. All subjects are taught to the whole class with the exception of phonics which is taught in ability groups. Maths and English work is differentiated as appropriate.
