Year One Teachers


ABOUT

This is a transition year as pupils move from continuous provision to more formal learning. They start the year with  formal carpet sessions for maths, phonics and writing and then a variety of guided and free activities.  As the year progresses we slowly move to more formal lessons with pupils increasing the amount of time they are focused on one activity. At the end of year one all pupils take part in the statutory phonics screener. Swimming is taught formally.
