Years 3 & 4
“All things are possible”
Luke 18:27
In Year 3 and 4, we support a smooth transition from Key Stage 1 into Key stage 2 by engaging children in lessons and experiences within school. We build on previous knowledge in a safe and secure environment, learning to be courageous advocates, grow in confidence and start to understand the importance of education and its impact on their own lives now and in their future success. We look forward to all the amazing things we will learn this year together.
