Age related expectations
Welcome to Year One!
Year One are taught by Mrs Montgomery and supported by Mrs George and Mrs Russell. We are so excited to welcome your children back to school this term!
We will continue to promote high expectations in school whilst also ensuring that the social and emotional wellbeing of the children is prioritised.
Of course, our learning and progress is hugely supported by parents and carers at home so we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support!

2025- 2026 Curriculum Overview
PE and Forest School
Year 1 will have PE on a Wednesday. Please ensure that your child comes into school wearing their PE kit on this day. It is really important they have a kit that is suitable for indoor and outdoor weather as we will be outside when the weather permits. Children should wear a white T-shirt. black/navy joggers and trainers. They should also wear their school jumper.
Year One will be having Forest School sessions later on in the year. We will give you plenty of notice so that you have time to gather a kit.
What to bring each day
Each day, your child will need to bring the following into school:
A water bottle. This will be sent home each evening so a clean one can be sent in the following day.
Reading record and reading books. Your child should have this in school every day.
A coat (preferably waterproof). The children will be spending a lot of time outside!
Reading
Each week your child is involved in a number of reading activities at school, including daily Read, Write, Inc. sessions. To build on this, your child should be reading regularly at home. Ideally this should be everyday. We encourage your child to read the book three times before we change it. This is so your child can practise any words they found tricky to read and to build on their fluency and comprehension skills. Please record any reading you do in your child’s reading record.
Your child will be heard by an adult throughout the week. It it is really important that your child has their reading record in their bag every day.
Homework
Year One will have a variety of homework tasks each week. The expectation is that they complete the following.
My Maths- each week there will be tasks assigned for your child to complete. Their logins are in the front of their homework books.
Phonics- QR codes will be sent home with different sounds for them to practise.
Spelling- a spelling activity will be stuck in their books to help your child spell tricky words. They also have a Year One spelling list stuck into their home learning journals.
Recommended reading list
It’s important for children to read as much as possible; to enjoy reading; to want to share what they have read with someone else and to challenge themselves to read different authors from different periods of time. In this way the children will build a rich vocabulary and greater understanding of the techniques authors use in their work to be able to apply this in their own writing.
