Year 2

Year 2, dance

Year 2 is the final year of the Pre-Prep Department and our aim is to prepare the children for the Prep School.

Lessons are classroom based and taught by the class teacher, although they become more subject based rather than topic based. Lessons include English (Spelling and Phonics, Handwriting, Grammar and Creative Writing), Maths (including Mental Arithmetic), Science, Geography, History, R.E. and I.C.T.

Children in Year 2 have access to all the school facilities, and have two sessions of games per week as well as a swimming session, all taught by specialist P.E. staff. They also have weekly sessions of Music and French - again taught by specialist staff.

This contact with staff from the Prep School aids in the transition into Year 3 where lessons are taught by specialist subject teachers.

Children in Year 2 are given prep. This is usually one of the following, Maths, Times Tables, Reading, Spelling and English. They are encouraged to stay for this 30 minute session, however if they do not, prep needs to be done at home.

Year 2s are also able to join the school's Judo club as well as all the other clubs on offer within the Pre-Prep. Once a week the children in Year 1 and Year 2 attend a Key Stage 1 assembly – where the 'Star of the Week' is announced. In addition to this assembly they also attend the Pre-Prep and Whole School Assemblies.
