The organisation of classes is regularly reviewed to make sure that class sizes stay balanced and the children receive effective teaching time. For Literacy and Numeracy teaching each morning the children will be taught in four mixed-age groups (F, Y1/2, Y3/4, Y5/6) enabling us to work with smaller numbers in these core subjects.
What are the year groups?
The National Curriculum is now divided into 5 Key Stages; primary schools cover the Foundation Stage and Key Stages 1 and 2. The Foundation Stage caters for very young children (aged 3-5) and used to be called Nursery and Reception. Key Stage 1 used to be referred to as Infants, and applies to children in Year 1 (aged 5-6) and Year 2 (aged 6-7). Key Stage 2 used to be referred to as Juniors, and applies to children in Year 3 (aged 7-8), Year 4 (aged 8-9), Year 5 (aged 9-10) and Year 6 (aged 10-11).
