Key Stage 1 at Hemlington Hall Academy builds seamlessly from our Early Years curriculum – to offer a broad and rich introduction to specific subject learning, through the excitement of a range of interesting topics!
Year 1 is taught by Mrs Jefferson, Miss Solomon and Mrs Stephenson and it is a very exciting place to be!
The Year 2 ‘Long Term Plans’ are available to view below. These plans detail which topics children will cover, as well as which subjects are taught and when – as well as how the legal ‘National Curriculum’ has been appropriately interwoven in to our curriculum.
Below, are the individual unit overviews for Year 2 parents and carers. These detail what children will be learning in each unit – and how you can help at home! Each term these are updated in advance to reflect any changes which have made to our curriculum.
If you have any questions about the curriculum in Year 2, please get in touch with the team, who will be happy to talk about all of the exciting things planned!
Key Phonics Information
At HHA we prioritise the teaching of early reading and follow Little Wandle Phonics Scheme. This scheme ensures effective, consistent teaching of early reading for every child.
These links will provide further information about where your child’s reading journey and how to support them.
Phonic Screening Check
All children in Year 1 will continue their Phonics reading journey from Reception. Children access their whole class Phonics lesson and will complete regular assessments to identify any further support they need. The links below provide information about the content they will learn during their time in Year 1 and the statutory check they will complete in June 2026.
