Y1 Curriculum Overview
Welcome to our Year 1 curriculum page. We believe that children have a right to expect a curriculum which is fun, motivating, interesting and most importantly purposeful.
We think Acre Heads Primary brings something special to every child that walks through our doors – we offer an exciting curriculum experience to all our children. Our school ethos is built on our core values: BELIEF, DETERMINATION, RESILIENCE and TEAMWORK and enables children to achieve extraordinary things.
On this page, you will find further information about our Year 1 curriculum, useful videos, links and resources for starting Year 1 with insights into the activities and learning environments within the year group.
Contact your child’s class:

The Explorers club worked together to build bridges to span over the water! They needed to ensure it was wide enough and strong enough to carry their bear. They worked in pairs to explore which bricks would best suit the span of the bridge compared to the stands.
Well done!
👍🏼🤩👏🏻

During their Jigsaw lesson, the children in Drewton thought about the process they need to do to be able to succeed within a goal they set.
They made a shape picture, thinking about their end goal and how they’re going to achieve it.
Well done!

The Explorers club enjoyed exploring both colour mixing and then extending this to explore how to make their chosen colour a shade lighter or darker 💭
