GLF Schools was founded in 2012 in order to enable the federation of Glyn School (an academy in 2011) and Danetree Junior School. Together, we began our journey to become a MAT of more than 1000 talented staff working with over 10,000 children in 40 schools across 5 regions in southern England.

Year 1 Area

Welcome to the Year 1 Area. In Year 1, for the first half term, the majority of our learning is carried out through small groups in a similar way to Year R. We do this because we firmly believe children need that time to transition from Year R to Year 1 as the expectations are higher. When it is appropriate, we start to move towards more formal whole class teaching, where children are expected to work more independently. In order to meet statutory requirements teachers are entitled to PPA (Planning, Preparation and Assessment) each week. In Year 1 this is Wednesday afternoon when the children will take part in a carousel of activities we call ‘Enrichment rotation’, this includes music, drama, library and global learning.

Please check out the subjects section to find ways of supporting your child at home with their reading, writing and maths.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher in the first instance.
