In Year 3, the children transition from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2. The topics are designed to ensure that the children are engaged and interested, whilst allowing them to explore and investigate. Learners’ will be challenged to build upon their key stage one skills in order to prepare them for the rigorous teaching and learning throughout the second stage of primary school. Expectations are very high, in order for each child to achieve their best across every aspect of the curriculum. The children will be challenged in order to extend their knowledge and understanding, allowing the basic skills to be embedded and become the foundations for Key Stage 2.
