Year 1: Ash and Pine
Welcome to Year 1 at Red Oaks Primary School
Welcome to Year 1—a year full of excitement, exploration and growth! As children transition from the Early Years Foundation Stage into Key Stage 1, we continue to nurture their curiosity and independence through a rich and engaging curriculum.
Your teaching team this year includes Mrs Walton, Mrs Lawrence, Mrs Wright, and Mrs Prophet, supported by our wonderful support staff: Miss Hall, Mrs Kord, Mrs Rigby, Miss Tyler, Mrs Broadhurst, and Mrs Sprosson. Together, we create a warm, inclusive environment where every child is encouraged to thrive.
This year, children will take part in the Phonics Screening Check—an important milestone that helps us celebrate their progress in early reading and phonics. We’re working hard to ensure every child feels confident and supported as they build these essential skills.
We’re also continuing to embed continuous provision into our Year 1 classrooms. This approach allows children to access a range of purposeful learning opportunities throughout the day, encouraging independence, creativity, and deeper engagement with their learning.
We value strong partnerships with families and are always here to support you. Keep an eye on this page for updates, key dates, and glimpses into our learning journey.
Here’s to a fantastic year ahead—full of curiosity, creativity, and confidence!
