Year 1 2026-27
Year 1
Welcome to Year 1!
We are looking forward to an exciting year of learning, exploring and growing together. Throughout the year, the children will take part in a range of engaging and memorable learning experiences, whilst continuing to develop their independence, confidence and curiosity.
In Year 1, we will encourage the children to share their ideas, ask questions and develop their communication and oracy skills in a supportive and nurturing environment. We can't wait to begin our learning journey together!
Please look at our detailed planning overviews below to find out more about the exciting topics and learning we will be covering throughout the year.
