In year 1, we intend to provide a rich and stimulating curriculum that ignites a love for learning, fosters a sense of curiosity and exploration, and ensures every child makes strong progress academically, socially and emotionally.

Research tells us that young children learn best through play and exploration. Our vision in year 1 is to build on the excellent practice found in EYFS. We believe that giving children ownership of their learning and engaging them through play and stories will create a greater enthusiasm for learning. We deliver a curriculum that is exciting and creative, which enables skills and knowledge to be applied so children can purposefully build on what they have already learned.

You can see what the children are learning in the curriculum overview below.
