After completing the Early Years Foundation Stage, children move naturally into Year 1, the first stage of Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) and an exciting new chapter in their learning journey. To ensure a smooth and reassuring transition, our Year 1 students remain at the Thigiri campus, where familiar surroundings and nurturing teachers help them thrive.

Lessons begin to take on a slightly more structured approach, but learning remains joyful, creative, and hands-on. We continue to encourage curiosity and imagination while helping children develop growing independence and confidence in their learning.

In Year 1, children build strong foundations in reading, writing, and mathematics. English lessons focus on phonics, reading comprehension, and creative writing across a variety of genres – from stories and poetry to letters and diary entries. Spelling, punctuation, and grammar are woven through all subjects, helping children become clear and confident communicators.
