For the purposes of the National Curriculum, the period of compulsory schooling is divided into four Key Stages, of which three are applicable to the Primary School.
Under the National Curriculum, there is now a uniform description of school year groups:
Age at end of year
Key Stage 1 Year 1 (Yl) 6
Year 2 (Y2) 7
Key Stage 2 Year 3 (Y3) 8
Year 4 (Y4) 9
Year 5 (Y5) 10
Year6 (Y6) 11
Access to Records:
Parents of children registered at the school may see their own child’s records by arrangement with the Headteacher.
EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES:
Educational Visits:
Where relevant and possible, school educational visits are arranged to support the children’s curriculum studies.
Residential Visits:
Year 6 pupils enjoy a five day residential visit to Ingleborough Hall linked to their curriculum studies.
Drama:
The school enjoys the benefit of visiting theatre companies that help to broaden and complement the school based activities. The school also produces a pantomime involving pupils from Years 5 and 6.
Charitable Works:
The school is involved in several fund raising events throughout the year where children are encouraged to consider the needs and circumstances of others. Our main charity is Catholic Care. Various activities are undertaken throughout Lent to raise funds. Last year we raised £800.00
Sport:
The school provides sports training during lunch times in the development of rugby, football, netball and rounders skills. The school takes part in inter school matches. We also take advantage of the expertise of outside agencies whenever possible. This year we have had specialist sports teachers from Yorkshire Martyrs working in school each week mainly with year 5 & 6 children.
The provision of extra curricular activities is seen as vital in widening the curriculum to take into account the talents of all children and to enable as many as possible to achieve in areas outside the classroom.
