Welcome to Year 1!

Year One is an exciting and fascinating place to be!

The transition from Reception to Year 1 is a big step, however by working together, we aim to make this as easy and enjoyable as possible for all involved. We have a fantastic team; Mrs. Simms (Key Stage Phase Leader), Miss Ingle (Class Teacher), Mrs. Arrowsmith and Mrs. Clewley (TAs). As this is an important stepping stone in your child’s education, please feel free to come and see us for a chat if you have any queries.

What we've been up to...

Year 1 had an exciting morning time travelling back to the 1950's. We went through a secret door and were transported into a 1950's living room! The children enjoyed listening to Mrs Clewley explaining all about what life was like back then, we also explored a range of items including an old phone, photographs, tea and coffee pots, a music box and much more!
