The nursery and the Reception class have very close links.   The children often work together and take trips together. The staff liaise and plan together.  the Ladybirds are taught by Fiona, Natalie, Keiana, Clare and Amanda Horniman

These two year groups are known as Key Stage One and they follow the National Curriculum of ten subjects. At the end of Year 2 the class teacher assesses the children in literacy and numeracy. The teacher may call upon information from any tests used but the KS1 levels they report are their assessment of the children’s work over a the year.  KS1 is split into two classes

Puffins Class is taught by Mrs Peak and Mrs Blane and supported by Miss Hughes

 Woodpeckers class is a Year three Class and this year is the start of KS2.  It is taught by Miss Shera and Mrs Carslake and supported by Miss Wallace.

Mrs  Horton and Mrs Ledger share the  teaching this class, with the support of Mrs Hatcher.

During Year 5 the children’s parents begin to think of which secondary school they want to choose, as any arrangements need to be made at the very start of the following year. Year 6 children travel to the Isle of Wight for a week’s residential trip together with children from the other three schools in our cluster. We have many school teams and enter many competitions and the children from this class have opportunities to represent the school in these teams. At the end of Year 6 the children take national tests, Key Stage 2 SATs, in literacy, numeracy and science.

Mrs Kitto and Mrs Peak teach in this class, supported by Mrs D Williams and Mrs Desai
