Roots and Wings International

Key Stage 1

Overview

Our Key Stage 1 class, which combines Year 1 and Year 2, builds on the joyful foundations of the Early Years and begins a gentle, structured journey into primary learning. In small class, children develop solid skills in reading, writing, and mathematics while continuing to explore through projects, play, and discovery. Lessons weave together academic challenge, creativity, and curiosity so every child feels confident to try, think, and grow. Alongside core subjects, children enjoy art, music, PE, and topic work that broaden their understanding of the world and nurture their unique talents — all within a warm, family-like environment that keeps the wonder of childhood alive.
