Teaching and learning in Year One provides the children with the practical opportunities they need to develop their understanding of key concepts, thinking skills and to build positive relationships.

The children are taught all National Curriculum subjects through cross curricular topics in the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). This learning is enriched by educational visits, special days and themed weeks.

We use  IPC to ensure breadth and balance; progression and continuity through our core subjects of English, Maths, Science and Religious Studies as well as Computing, Design Technology, History, Geography, Art, Music and P.E.

For phonics teaching we will focus on phases 4 and 5 of Letters and Sounds.
