Key Stage 1
Key Stage 1 welcomes children from early years into a more formal environment for learning. Our key aim is for each child to continue on their journey of empowerment through maintaining the fun, active approach to learning.
Our timetable in Key Stage 1 is designed to ensure that all children receive appropriate time for each subject. Students in Key Stage 1 will receive a daily session for phonics and an opportunity to read one to one with an adult. Children will progress toward the spelling objectives provided by the Cambridge Curriculum.
The majority of learning takes place in the nurturing environment of the classroom facilitated by qualified teachers either from the UK or having taught the UK National Curriculum internationally.
Subjects taught in Key Stage 1
English is taught 5 times a week with dedicated time for spelling, handwriting, phonics and reading. We follow ‘The Write Stuff’ approach to teaching English which focuses on the development of vocabulary and the use of high quality, age appropriate example texts.
Students in Key Stage 1 will receive daily Maths lessons where we aim to provide practical opportunities for the students to demonstrate their learning. Our Maths sessions are supported by the White Rose Maths resources which develops reasoning and problem solving.
Students receive 2 science lessons per week in Key stage 1 where we encourage curiosity and confidence through practical hands on experiences.
Worldwide & local History and Geography are introduced in KS1 as part of a termly topic and we aim to make cross curricular links when necessary in order to widen the depth and breadth of the students’ knowledge and understanding.
PSHE and/or Global Perspectives is taught once a week in Key Stage 1. This is an opportunity for the students to learn about a range of global issues and understand the world we live in, as well as understanding ourselves.
