The Curriculum 

Class 4 is a mixed age class with both year 1 and 2. I am very experienced at teaching like this and at Glebelands we design a curriculum which meets the needs of all pupils. Both year groups follow the National Curriculum for England which is delivered for the year 1s through a play based approach as in Reception year. The Years 2s engage in more formal teaching and learning episodes.
