Years 1 and 2

The boys and girls are introduced to more formal work but the emphasis is still placed on learning by doing and involvement. We feel it is important to develop the children as independent learners with enquiring minds. You will see children working by themselves or in small groups in the library, researching on a computer and even working on the floor as well as more whole-class lessons in the classroom.

Good behaviour and social skills are valued as highly as academic, creative and physical achievement and all are rewarded in our weekly Celebration Assemblies. The children gradually take on more responsibilities and are now "Buddy Band Monitors” at playtimes and represent their classmates on the Pre-Prep School Council.

 

Year 2Most lessons are still taught by the classroom specialist with French taught by a specialist teacher and music by the Director of Music. Ballet is offered as an optional subject.

In Year 2 recorders and weekly swimming are also introduced and subject specialists from the Prep school now teach I.C.T., Games and French. This, together with increasing use of Prep school facilities, helps to ensure a smooth transition into Years 3 to 8.
