Year 1

Welcome to the page for our Year 1. Please keep coming back to see what exciting things we are up to in the classroom in our news and what we have planned in our events calendar.

Welcome to Year 1!

At the beginning of Year 1, to ensure all children feel comfortable with the transition, we would like it to feel very similar to the free-flowing reception that the little ones and their adults are used to.

Sometimes transitions can be tough for some families. We will do whatever we can to make all children feel safe, happy, and loved, and we want nothing more than to make all pupils love learning.

View our curriculum overview to see what we’ll be learning over the coming year.
