Year 1 intent

In Cherry Class at Beoley First School, the Year 1 curriculum builds on the strong foundations laid in Moss Class, providing children with a seamless progression in their learning journey. Phonics remains a key focus, with the Floppy’s Phonics Reading Scheme used to secure and deepen phonics knowledge in preparation for the Phonics Screening Check in June. In maths, teaching follows the White Rose Curriculum, emphasising a mastery approach to develop fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving skills. The curriculum is designed to nurture confidence, curiosity, and independence, ensuring children make meaningful connections across subjects and thrive academically and socially.
