Year Two is an important and exciting year as children become the oldest pupils in Key Stage 1 and continue to grow in confidence and independence.

We build on the knowledge and skills developed in Year One, supporting children to become increasingly fluent readers, confident writers and secure mathematicians. Across the wider curriculum, children are encouraged to ask questions, make connections and apply their learning in purposeful and engaging ways.

There are plenty of opportunities for practical learning, creativity, collaboration and enrichment, both in and beyond the classroom. We continue to place great importance on positive relationships, communication and resilience, helping children to take increasing responsibility for themselves and their learning.

Throughout the year, we also prepare children carefully for the transition into Key Stage 2, so that they move into Year Three feeling confident, capable and ready for the next stage of their school journey.

Above all, we want Year Two to be a happy, memorable year in which children feel proud of how much they have achieved.
