What does learning look like for K1 Children?

Children learn through …

… Play and Inquiry

It’s a journey not a raceWe build strong foundations for

learning.

We don’t build as

high as we can, as fast as we can.

How does it all fit together?

All subjects are taught through the Unit of Inquiry where possible.
