Year 1

Welcome to Year 1 at Marie Weller Primary School

Year 1 is a special time in your child’s journey, filled with curiosity, growth, and exciting new challenges. At Marie Weller Primary School, we’re passionate about creating a nurturing and engaging environment where every child can thrive and enjoy their first year in Key Stage 1.

A Seamless Transition

Moving on from Reception, your child will take the next steps in their learning with the support of our caring and experienced team. We provide a safe and imaginative environment where children feel confident to explore, experiment, and take on new challenges.

A Rich and Varied Curriculum

In Year 1, we aim to inspire a love of learning through a curriculum that is both enjoyable and stimulating. Your child will develop key skills in:

• Reading: Building confidence with phonics and early comprehension.
• Writing: Developing creativity and accuracy in their written work.
• Maths: Strengthening understanding through practical and problem-solving activities.

Learning is carefully balanced between fun, hands-on experiences and focused teaching, ensuring every child makes great progress.

Working Together

We know that children succeed best when school and home work as a team. That’s why we value open communication with parents and carers. Throughout the year, we’ll share updates about your child’s progress and provide opportunities for you to get involved in their learning journey. Together, we can create a positive and supportive experience for your child.
