ABOUT

Pupils continue to be taught subjects linked across our Explore, Discover and Create themes, with a growing focus on building their competency in each subject. They are expected to compose pieces of writing of more than a sentence or two and are more able to use concrete materials in Maths to answer questions. Swimming continues to be taught formally.
