Key Stage 1 - 2
Key Stage 1
At Key Stage 1 our curriculum is project based focusing on the skills that we know can help our students develop in the time they are with us.
All students have a blend of pastoral and academic subjects, some with a keener focus on their social, emotional and mental health, depending on their entry points and developmental needs.
We passionately believe that developing our children’s literacy levels will improve access to their whole education and we have designed the curriculum with reading at the heart. A major part of the curriculum is daily discrete phonics which is supported through the use of 'Little Wandle' and guided reading sessions to encourage the children to progress in their reading.
Alongside our formal curriculum students will have the opportunity to attend forest school, visit the local library and develop their swimming skills as well as cultural trips to build their cultural capital. Below are the subjects that are offered with an outline of the skills and themes that we focus on:
