Key Stage 1 (KS1)

Key Stage 1 is made up of Years 1 and 2:

  • Year 1 – for children aged 5/6 years, and we have three classes of 30 children in each.
  • Year 2 – for children aged 6/7 years, and we have three classes of 30 children in each.

The curriculum is enhanced by educational visits and visitors into school. The extended curriculum also features workshops and whole school activity weeks.

Sex and Relationship Education (SRE) is included in the curriculum for PSHE, Science and RE. Parents have the right to withdraw their child from all or part of the SRE provided. The Headteacher must be informed if parents wish to exercise this right.
