Years 1 & 2
“All things are possible”
Luke 18:27
In Year 1 and 2, we support a smooth transition from Early years into Key stage 1 by engaging children in lessons and experiences within school. We are like a family and we care for each other in Year 1 and 2. We always try our best. We treat our friends as we would want to be treated. We love learning and finding out more. We love making progress and learning to be courageous advocates. We look forward to all the amazing things we will learn this year together.
