At Crosfields, our Key Stage 1 curriculum gives children in Years 1 and 2 an exceptional foundation for lifelong learning. Rooted in the National Curriculum and enriched by specialist teaching, it offers a nurturing, dynamic environment where pupils grow in confidence, curiosity and independence.
Hands-on experiences are central to the way our children learn. From medieval days and theatre workshops to cookery sessions, Forest School, and science lessons in our senior labs, pupils enjoy immersive opportunities that spark imagination and deepen understanding. These experiences help children make meaningful connections between classroom learning and the wider world.
Specialist-led lessons in French, Music and PE further enhance the curriculum, enabling pupils to learn from expert teachers who bring energy, knowledge and creativity to every session.
Interactive technology is thoughtfully integrated throughout Key Stage 1. Guided by Apple-trained educators, children develop digital confidence and future-ready skills in a supportive and inspiring environment. Creative arts, problem-solving and expressive activities are woven into daily learning, building adaptability, collaboration and resilience.
With more than 40 languages spoken across our school, pupils benefit from a rich tapestry of global stories, traditions and perspectives. This diversity fosters cultural understanding and a deep sense of belonging, supporting every child to feel valued and thrive as an individual.
Our extensive co-curricular programme opens doors to new interests and talents. From dance, chess and judo to swimming, pupils enjoy a broad range of activities that encourage exploration, creativity and confidence.
Across every aspect of school life, Crosfields’ values shine through—shaping young learners who are curious, resilient and excited to discover the world around them. In Key Stage 1, children establish the foundations for academic success and develop a genuine love for learning.
