Welcome to Year 2
Year Two in our school is an enriching and nurturing year where children truly flourish. It is a time of growing confidence, curiosity and independence, underpinned by strong relationships and a deep commitment to personal development.
Our carefully planned and well-sequenced curriculum ensures strong coverage across all subjects, enabling children to excel academically whilst developing a deep understanding and enthusiasm for learning. Reading sits at the heart of our curriculum, nurturing confident, fluent readers and a genuine love of books, while rich experiences broaden children’s knowledge and understanding of the world around them.
Every child is known, exceptionally valued and included, with inclusive practice at the heart of all we do so that all children feel happy, can succeed and feel a strong sense of belonging. We hold high expectations for every child and support them to meet these through rich learning experiences, encouragement and care, ensuring the best possible outcomes both academically and personally.
As our oldest children, Year Two children are thoughtfully prepared for their journey into junior school, developing resilience, responsibility and a love of learning. Our approach is underpinned by the gospel values so children leave us confident, capable and ready for the next exciting chapter of their education.

Spellings
Spelling homework is an essential part of Year 2 as it reinforces the work undertaken in class. Spellings will be sent home every Friday and children tested the following Friday.
Homework
As well as reading and spellings, children will receive a weekly English and Maths based task. Please complete and return no later than Tuesday the following week. Occasionally, homework will be online based via Seesaw.
Reading
Reading is a really important part of your child’s development as well as being an amazing journey into new worlds, real and imagined. Ideally, we would like the children to read each evening for a short time. However, we realise that this is not always possible. As a minimum, we ask that the children read at home with an adult at least three times a week. We ask that this reading is noted in their planner.
