Welcome to Year 2

Overview

Key Stage 1 is currently organised into three Year 1 and three Year 2 classes.  We follow a creative curriculum where maths and English skills are fed throughout our planning. The children begin their day at 8:30. The pupils’ timetable is structured for the morning into phonics where we follow the Read Write Inc programme, maths and writing lessons, with reading skills also being taught discretely during Reading Masters. In our afternoon sessions we cover the school's planned curriculum for the rest of the foundation subjects.

Below are some great Writing home sheets, so you can see what is expected from year 1 and year 2.
