Welcome to Year 2

Our Year Group Philosophy

We have a positive and welcoming team who are ready to challenge, nurture and support the children through their learning journey. We further develop the children’s growth mindset, encouraging them to believe-practise-succeed and instil our school ‘Habits of Mind’.

Our Curriculum

Our diverse, creative curriculum offers a broad range of opportunities and exciting experiences for the children to further enhance their learning. Throughout the year we cover many engaging topics such as recreating scenes from ‘The Great Fire of London’ and exploring ‘The Amazon Rainforest’. All aspects of our curriculum are supported further with the use of our fantastic environment and resources such as excellent outdoor spaces, IT equipment and the cookery room. The support network we have with our community enables us to offer trips around our local area which creates lifelong memories for the children.

Wider opportunities 

We pride ourselves on the relationships we build with our parents and carers through excellent communication face to face and through class dojo. There are lots of opportunities throughout the year for parents to join in with and celebrate the children’s development and progress. Parents, carers and children often comment that our Year 2 Christmas Production is one of the highlights of the year!

We firmly believe that Year 2 is a crucial part of the children’s learning journey; developing independence, and embedding and enhancing their learning ready for Key Stage 2.
