• Reception Year
• Key Stage One - Years 1 and 2
• Key Stage Two - Years 3, 4, 5 and 6

All year groups follow the National Curriculum supplemented with a comprehensive Spanish Programme of Study.

Reception
During the Reception Year the children work towards the Early Learning Goals as set out in the structured strands of learning found in the Foundation Curriculum. They extend their early experiences of the written word, text and number. The children develop a secure foundation for their future education, building on the range of skills they have experienced in Pre-School and Nursery.

Key Stage One – Aged 5 – 7 years old
In Key Stage One the children continue to develop their reading, writing and number skills. They are beginning to understand their own unique place in the world through developing a strong sense of self-identity. They explore and communicate ideas, feelings and preferences through the arts, music, role-play and imaginative play.

Key Stage Two – Aged 7 – 11 years old
In Key Stage Two the children extend their learning through a broad and balanced curriculum. Emphasis is given to the necessary life skills of Literacy and Numeracy. They also experience a wide range of subjects which encourage understanding of the diverse world we live in through considering their own place in the world, recognising their own responsibilities and rights, and those of others.
