Bucklesham School
Our children's age ranges from 4 years to 11 years. The Foundation Stage introduces the children to the school and its curriculum through the teaching of six key areas of learning.In Key Stage 1 the children follow the National Curriculum and are guided through the programmes of study by their teacher and support staff. At the end of Key Stage 1 the children sit SAT's in English, Mathematics and Science.
In Key Stage 2 the children also follow the National Curriculum which culminates in SAT's in Year 6 when the children are aged 10 or 11 years.
