We’re really happy to welcome you all to Year 3 and Key Stage 2. The move to the Juniors allows children to take more responsibility over their own learning and develop greater independence. A key focus will be to build the children’s educational stamina to get the most out of the Year 3 National Curriculum and keep pace with expectations. We will also aim to have lots of fun along the way with some fantastic topics to study!
