Key Stage 1 marks the beginning of a child’s formal learning journey and provides an environment where curiosity, imagination and early independence are encouraged. In Years 1 and 2 pupils develop the essential literacy and numeracy skills that underpin future learning while building confidence as young learners.
Our curriculum introduces children to a rich blend of subjects including English, mathematics, science, humanities, Arabic, creative arts, ICT, music and PE. Lessons are active and engaging, with a strong emphasis on exploration and practical learning. Teachers design activities that help pupils make connections, express their ideas and enjoy the satisfaction that comes from developing new skills.
At this age children learn as much through experiences as they do through direct instruction. Opportunities for creative play, storytelling, problem solving and structured group work help pupils develop social skills, resilience and a positive approach to challenge. Visits, themed days and hands-on projects add variety and help bring learning to life.
Pastoral support plays a central role in KS1. We focus on helping pupils feel secure, confident and ready to try new things, and we promote kindness, respect and the ability to work well with others. Each child is known as an individual and encouraged to develop good learning habits that will serve them well in later years.
By the end of Year 2 pupils have established strong foundations and are ready to move into Key Stage 2 with growing independence and enthusiasm. Parents remain closely involved in this stage of their child’s development, supported by clear communication and regular opportunities to share in their child’s progress.
