The transition from KS1 to KS2 is an exciting time and, here at Stanford Junior School, we aim to make this transition as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

We work closely with the infant school and other school settings to ensure that all of the children who are transferring to our school are well-prepared for the next step in their education.

Year 3 children settle quickly into their new setting and we support this in a variety of ways whilst maximising learning opportunities. For example, we facilitate an afternoon break for the first couple of weeks of the autumn term.

There is lots to look forward to in Year 3 and the children are engaged in their learning from the outset.

We begin the year with a short topic planned alongside the Year 2 teachers from Stanford Infant School.

After this, we delve into a topic called Survive and Thrive which explores diversity and sustainability. During this topic, we take the children back in time as far as the Stone Age to discover what life was like for early man.

Other topics include All that Glitters, which explores the concepts of wealth and equality) and What a Wonderful World which teaches the children environmentalism and the importance of caring for the planet.
