Key Stages 1 and 2

Pupils are accepted from reception (aged 4 or older on the 1st of September) to year six (age 10).

A Learning Support Coordinator facilitates the integration of these pupils into all school activities by providing support both in the classroom and through individual help.

Pupils are admitted into year groups according to their age on the 1st September.
