The Junior School is divided into two Key Stages. These are as follows:

Key Stage 1:
Year 1 (age 5 - 6) and Year 2 (age 6 - 7)
We use the National Curriculum as the framework with particular emphasis on literacy and numeracy. Pupils enjoy learning in a friendly, warm and supportive atmosphere, much of the time being taught by their class teacher. French, as an additional language, starts in Year 3 and pupils benefit from specialist teachers in Physical Education and Music. The day is structured to provide a balanced mix of academic, physical and creative experiences. Classrooms are well-equipped with an excellent range of learning resources and children are able to make use of the School’s ICT suites and other facilities.  Pupils move up automatically from the Key Stage 1 classes.

Key Stage 2:
Years 3 (ages 7 - 8), 4 (age 8-9), 5 (age 9-10) and 6 (age 10-11)
In order to enhance the skills of our pupils at this stage, subject specialist teachers are gradually introduced and some lessons are taught using Senior School facilities. Some lessons are taught using Senior School facilities. Pupils study a full range of National Curriculum subjects such as:

• Literacy and Numeracy
• Science
• History
• Geography
• French
• ICT
• Music
• Art
• Physical Education
• Drama
• Religious Education

Study skills are developed and more challenging homework is set according to the needs of our individual pupils. Our Junior classes benefit from a favourable teacher/pupil ratio that enables a high degree of individual attention to meet all children’s learning needs.
