Year 3

As children move into Key Stage 1 and early Key Stage 2, they experience a gradual shift toward more structured learning while still enjoying a creative and supportive environment.

A big step up. Children begin to take more ownership of their work, explore subject-specific content in greater depth, and become more self-aware learners.
