Welcome to Key Stage 1

How we are organised:
• 2 classess of Years 1 and 2
• 2 year rolling programme
• Creative cross-curricular Planning
• Mission Statement: Key Stage One
• The KS1 team will respect and build on the EYFS curriculum, promote continuity and
cohesion for pupils moving from the FS to KS1 and ensure a smooth transition into
KS2. We aim to create and provide a safe, secure, stable, healthy, stimulating and
happy environment in which children can grow in confidence and achieve their natural
potential as underpinned by Every Child Matters. Key Stage One will reflect the
school’s rights respecting agenda – it will be the collective responsibility of all of us to
ensure that learners and our learning environment is respected. We will ensure and
monitor each child’s progress, set targets and make expectations of learning and
attainment explicit to pupils and stakeholders based on pupils current and future
needs and on local and national standards. Our practice will be informed by the needs
of today’s learning and tomorrow’s world and we will adapt and be sufficiently flexible
to accommodate this so that learners will be introduced to the knowledge and skills
they will require for lifelong success.

Schools also have to teach religious education, though parents have the right to
withdraw children for all or part of the religious education curriculum. In addition,
schools are advised to teach personal, social and health education (PSHE).
• At Key Stages 1, 2, and 3 (up to age 14), the National Curriculum is accompanied by
a series of eight levels. These are used to measure your child's progress compared to
pupils of the same age across the country.
• All schools assess pupils’ progress during the school year,
• You'll receive information about the level your child has reached at parent-teacher
evenings and in their school report.
• Your child will be formally assessed at the end of Key Stage 1 (Year 2) - SATs
• the teacher’s assessment of your child’s progress will take account of their performance
in several tasks and tests in English (Reading and Writing) and Maths.
• By the end of Key Stage 1, most children will have reached level 2b.
• More information available on the National Curriculum website
What the children learn:
English
• Reading to your child is just as important as listening to your child read eg bedtime stories. We try to
listen to your child read at least twice a week but this is only possible if we have enough help in class.
Please tell us how well your child is doing or if you would like us to change your child’s book by
writing in their reading record.

SCIENCE

Children learn that animals (including
humans) grow and reproduce. They can
use ideas about feeding and growth to
learn about ways we need to look after
ourselves to stay healthy.
Children will also have opportunities to
consider ways in which science is relevant
to their personal health and to relate
science to aspects of their everyday life
(food, exercise, medicines), and to
recognise and control hazards and risks to
themselves.

PE – to develop awareness about
effects of exercise on body through
