Welcome to Year 2
Year 2 is an important year where children grow in confidence and independence as they prepare for the transition into Key Stage 2. It is a year that builds resilience, curiosity and pride in learning.
We create a calm and encouraging environment where high expectations are guided by our Bee Rules. Children are supported to be kind, be safe, be respectful and be inquisitive, helping them to take responsibility for their learning and behaviour.
Our Year 2 classes, Rabbits and Otters, are taught by Mrs Passmore and Mrs Woodhead, and supported by Miss Spence and Mrs Thompson, who work closely together to ensure consistency and care across the year group.
The Best Bits of Year 2
“Snozone! Snozone! Snozone! It is so cool for the children to experience sledging down a ski slope.”
– Mrs Woodhead
“Learning about fabulous local history and the incredible Brontë sisters is always a highlight of mine.”
– Mrs Passmore
