End of year Age Related Expectations

Year 1

The National Curriculum outlines these expectations as being the minimum requirements your child should meet by the end of each year.

All of the objectives will be focused on throughout the year as part of your child’s lessons. Any extra support you can provide in helping your child to achieve these expectations is greatly valued.

If you have any queries regarding these expectations or would like support in knowing how to help your child with these, please see the class teacher.
