Key Stage 1 Is Your Chance To Give Your Child A Secure Foundation In Year 1, students begin to have a greater understanding of English and Maths within their weekly 2-hour lessons. We want each child to be able to reach their potential in these lessons and provide positive feedback and rewards for possibly challenging areas. At this age, we will develop their sentence writing, grammar and number usage. Class sizes are a maximum of 6 students with each group being led by a tutor and a mentor on hand to help out. As a result, we will always provide a 1:3 ratio with our younger students in order to get their standard as high as possible. The students learn through a variety of group and independent activities keeping the lessons fun and engaging. Lessons follow the National Curriculum while working one step ahead to ensure that our students can raise their hands to answer questions in school with confidence. When students successfully complete a task, they are enthusiastic about their work, especially if they have earned a prize. Students enjoy their class and always leave wanting to learn more. A positive and uplifting environment builds a healthy foundation for learning.
