The Curriculum
Children in the Reception class and the Nursery follow the objectives of the Foundation Stage.
The National Curriculum brings the year groups together to form Key Stages. Years 1 and 2 form Key Stage 1 and Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 form Key Stage 2. The children in Year 2 (at the end of Key Stage 1) and the children in Year 6 (at the end of Key Stage 2) undertake formal assessments, called Standard Assessment Tests (or SATs for short). These take place during the month of May.
The curriculum for Key Stages 1 and 2 follows the guidelines issued by Qualification and Curriculum Authority. The children study the following subjects as part of the National Curriculum.
Information and Communication Technology Physical Education (PE) Design And Technology (Incl Food technology) Personal/Social and Health Education (PSHE)
