Our Juniors

Years 3 and 4

At Key Stage 2 we want all girls to fulfil their potential, work on the areas they need to develop and build on their individual strengths. We encourage the girls in their endeavours; we continue to monitor each child to ensure they are on the right track. Parents Consultations take place in the Autumn and Spring terms. A mid-year report with individual pupil targets for Mathematics, English and Science is sent to parents in February and a full report on all subjects taught issued in July. It is expected that each girl will do her best – no more, no less!

Written homework that is expected to take ½ hour is set twice a week in Year 3 and three times a week in Year 4.

The transition from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2 is exciting and stimulating yet seamless. Our Year 3 teacher eagerly welcomes the girls. They come in as overgrown Infants and leave the year as confident Juniors. In Year 3 there are several trips to places far and wide. Undoubtedly the highlight of the year is the chance to perform in the Year 3 production.

In Year 4 we build on the skills and knowledge from the previous years. It is rewarding to watch the girls continue to grow in competence and confidence. There are charity events organised by the girls as well as day trips and the 3 night residential trip to Stone Farm in Devon proves to be both busy and informative. The girls take on exceptional responsibilities even before breakfast - from flying the barn owl, rounding up sheep, feeding the pigs to running the maternity wing in the chicken and duckling wards!
