Year 1 Staff

Hello and welcome to Year 1!

We are so excited to be teaching in Year 1 - an important year as the children transition from EYFS to KS1. Our aim is to ensure that all pupils feel happy and supported in their classroom, where they can continue to develop their knowledge of the world around them, including their physical, social and emotional understanding.

Our carefully designed and enriching curriculum will help children learn in small and sequential steps where we will help them build both their confidence and resilience along the way. 

Here are just a few of the wonderful things pupils will be learning over the year:

• Diving into painting 
• Learning about different, everyday materials
• Delving into the continents and oceans that make up our planet
• Building an understanding of seasons 
• Unpicking mechanisms and how they work

By the end of Year 1, we are confident your child will have had an enriching experience which has built on their understanding of key topics and personally developed them as individuals.

Parent Support: 

We value the offer of support from parents in any way. Parents have supported the school by hearing children read, volunteering in the classroom & for school trips, helping at whole school events, managing the library, and many other fantastic ways. Additionally, parents have offered their time and specialised skills such as decorating corridors with engaging art displays or building structures for plants in the playground. Furthermore, some parents have purchased equipment and resources through their child’s year group ‘Amazon Wish List’, which you can do here:
