Welcome to Year 3
Year 3 marks the beginning of Lower Key Stage 2 and is an exciting step as children build on their Key Stage 1 learning. It is a year where pupils develop confidence, independence and curiosity while settling into new routines and expectations.
In Year 3, we create a calm and welcoming environment guided by our Bee Rules, encouraging children to be kind, be safe, be respectful and be inquisitive in all aspects of school life.
Our Year 3 classes, Moles and Beavers, are taught by Miss Rauf and Miss Brown, supported by Miss Walmsley, Miss O’Neil, Miss Holder and Miss Priestley, who work together to provide a nurturing and consistent learning experience.
The Best Bits of Year 3
“Year 3 is such a special year because we see children grow in confidence and become more independent learners.”
“I love how our topics bring history and stories to life — especially learning about the Romans and Boudicca!”
