During the infant years which include Reception, Year 1 & Year 2, our balanced curriculum and daily routine emphasise the development of skills in literacy and numeracy which include attention to clear and legible handwriting and an understanding of time tables and number bonds.
In the latter part of Reception emphasis is placed on developing the curriculum towards Key Stage 1.
Importance is also attached to the cultural development of each individual and they are exposed to modern and classical literature and music. French is taught by a specialist teacher from Kindergarten onwards.
Children commence their junior years at Winbury in Year 3. Familiar subjects are reinforced and developed further. By now the work becomes increasingly challenging, and the importance of independent learning is promoted along with the encouragement of high self-esteem, self-confidence and self-discipline.
All of these things ensure our aim for the children to enjoy pride in their achievement and to have a sense of curiosity and enjoyment in learning. They leave us with the skills and confidence to successfully move forward and onward to the next stages of their development and education, well equipped to pursue their strengths and above all to lead happy and fulfilled lives.
