Key Stage 1 is a crucial stage in your child’s education, typically covering ages 5 to 7, corresponding to Years 1 and 2 in the English education system. During these formative years, our primary goal is to foster a love for learning, develop essential skills, and provide a solid academic foundation that will serve as a springboard for future success

Key Stage 1

Teaching Approach

Our experienced and dedicated teaching staff use a variety of teaching methods to cater to individual learning styles. Small class sizes ensure that each child receives the attention they need to thrive academically and socially. We foster a supportive and inclusive atmosphere, where every child feels valued and respected.

Assessment and Feedback

We believe in the importance of ongoing assessment to track your child’s progress. Regular feedback is provided to parents, and we encourage open communication to ensure that your child’s educational journey is a collaborative effort between school and home.

Beyond the Classroom

At Priory Prep, we understand the importance of holistic development. Key Stage 1 is not just about academics; it’s about nurturing well-rounded individuals. We offer a range of extracurricular activities, clubs, and events that allow your child to explore their interests, develop talents, and build friendships.

Our Curriculum

Our KS1 curriculum is carefully designed to meet the unique needs and interests of young learners. It encompasses a wide range of subjects, including:

English: We focus on building strong literacy skills through reading, writing, and phonics. Children are encouraged to explore imaginative worlds through literature and express themselves through creative writing.

Mathematics: In our maths program, students develop a solid understanding of mathematical concepts and problem-solving skills. Through hands-on activities, outdoor learning and interactive lessons, we make maths enjoyable and accessible.

Science: Young scientists at our school engage in exciting experiments and investigations, igniting their curiosity about the natural world and encouraging critical thinking.

Foundation Subjects: We offer a well-rounded education that includes Art, Music, Physical Education, French and Computing. These subjects help children develop creativity, physical skills, and emotional intelligence. The Child’s class teacher also delivers other subjects which include: RE, History, Geography and Pastoral care programs.

A Safe and Supportive Environment

The safety and well-being of our students are paramount and all staff are trained in safeguarding procedures. We create a warm and caring atmosphere where children feel safe, happy, and ready to learn.

Key Stage 1 at Priory Prep is a time of exploration, discovery, and growth. We invite you to join us in shaping a bright future for your child. Together, we will provide the foundation for a lifelong love of learning and a successful academic journey.
