Welcome
to the Reception and Key Stage One pages of the AAESS website. We
hope that the following gives you an opportunity to view our happy
and caring school.
This department consists of three parallel classes of Reception,
Year 1 and year 2. It is our aim to ensure that all children feel
secure and content in their classroom environment. We are
committed to delivering a curriculum that is stimulating and
creative. Our staff, both teachers and support staff are
constantly adapting and improving the curriculum to allow each
individual pupil to develop into confident happy life-long
learner.
The Reception classes follow the Foundation stage curriculum
allowing them to explore through a hands on play approach to
learning. Year one and two build on the experiences developed in
the foundation years and work towards Level 2 of the national
curriculum. The Year two children participate in the Standard
achievement tasks (SAT’s). These are delivered in exactly the same
way as the UK but marked internally.
As a department we constantly review and update our curriculum. We
are continuously implementing new initiatives to allow the
children the opportunity to build on existing skills. As in the
rest of the school, curriculum development is on going in order to
provide the very best opportunities for the children with their
unique and varying learning styles and needs.
The staff in Key Stage One are excellent class practitioners and
are committed to achieving the best for every child. We are aware
of the importance of parents as partners and strive to ensure
every parent feels part of their child's learning experience. We
at AAESS understand that together both teachers and parents can
guarantee that each child reaches their full potential.
