Welcome to Year 3!

In Year 3, pupils begin their exciting Key Stage 2 journey, building on the strong foundations from Key Stage 1. Through a rich and inspiring curriculum, pupils continue to develop their skills in reading, writing and mathematics, while enjoying a wide range of engaging subjects including history, geography, science, art, music and PE.

Our classrooms are welcoming and supportive spaces where pupils grow in confidence, independence and continue to develop a love of learning. Guided by our KIND Hearts values, we encourage every child to be caring, respectful and thoughtful, while also challenging themselves, sharing their ideas and taking pride in their achievements.
