In Key Stage One (Year One), children transition and learning becomes deeper and more focused. Our curriculum based on the National Curriculum of England is delivered through inspiring topics; promoting creativity and independent thinking. This cross-curricular approach enables children to find connections in their learning, further deepening their understanding as well as enhancing their enjoyment to learn.
