Y1 Curriculum

In Key Stage 1 (years 1 and 2) we have core subjects (reading, writing, maths and science) and foundation subjects. Y1 – Y6 follow topics, for example, at the moment, our topic is ‘The Wonderful World of Me’. Y1 is a mix of whole class learning and child-initiated learning (choosing/free flow). Y1 students have a statutory phonics check in June.
