The Year 1 curriculum will build upon and extend the EYFS curriculum. Although the children are in a more formal learning environment in Year 1, they will continue to learn through exploration, experience, challenge and investigation using both the classroom and outdoor learning environment. We strive to ensure the children increase their independence, ready for their learning the following year.

VIPERS is an acronym to aid the recall of the 6 reading domains as part of the UK’s reading curriculum. They are the key areas which we feel children need to know and understand in order to improve their comprehension of texts. You can find example questions for each of the VIPERS below. They can be used when listening to your child read at home. There is also a list of books for each year group, where you can find stories that are suitable for your child to read at home.
At Park Lane we use the White Rose Mathematics scheme. Click on the picture to find out more information.
