Our Classes
Class Structure
Children spend 7 years at primary school, split into three different stages:
Reception
The Early Years Foundation Stage. The ‘Reception’ year at school where children enter at 4 years old. The curriculum is explained in the assessment section of our website. The curriculum is very play / child led based.
KS1 -Key Stage 1 - Years 1 and 2 (age 5-7)
The curriculum is more formal and with around 2 hours per day focused on core English and maths skills. Children are given statutory assessment tests (SATs) at the end of this key stage (tests are taken in the May of a pupil’s time in Y2).
KS2 – Key Stage 2 – Years 3-6 (age 7-11)
Children continue to build on the core skills they have learnt through EYFS and KS1. Children are given statutory assessment tests (SATs) at the end of this key stage. These tests are taken in a set week in the May of a pupil’s time in Y6 and are sent to the DfE (department of education) to be externally marked.
