Welcome to Key Stage One. We are Years 1 and 2 and consist of three classes.

The team are as follows:

ROBINS (Year 1)– Miss Langmaid (maternity cover), Miss Grooby and Miss Fretwell. 

HEDGEHOGS (Year 1 & 2)– Mrs Sycamore, Mrs Walters and Mrs Bradley. 

SQUIRRELS (Year 2)– Miss Kinsella, Miss Fletcher and Mrs Hartshorn. 

As children progress from Reception, we are the gateway into main school. It is our aim to ensure that all of our children experience a smooth and seamless transition from the foundation unit into our key stage. We aspire to give our children the knowledge and skills needed to become independent and enthusiastic learners.

We work as a team to plan and deliver a broad range of exciting, challenging and motivating lessons based on the national curriculum. In the mornings, learning is focused on English and Maths. To enable children to become confident and fluent readers, we teach daily phonics lessons which provide the building blocks needed to develop key reading skills. During our afternoons, we consolidate the foundational learning through the Mastering Number programme and phonics reviews, in addition to learning wider curriculum subjects.
