Learning outcomes for Year 1
In Year One, we expect and support children to develop more independence. This is encouraged through ‘The Art of Being Brilliant’. This will build the character of each unique child and support them to be emotionally resilient, develop grit, be able to learn with determination and never give up.
We develop life skills of being kind, thoughtful, helpful, confident, assertive and resilient.
We have an amazing interactive learning environment called
