Ocker Hill Infant School

Welcome to our Year 2 page.

There are two classes - Oak Class and Willow Class.

As the oldest children in our school, they have the opportunity to take on several roles and responsibilities. These roles include class-based jobs and whole school supporting roles such Peer Mediators and Playground Leaders. These jobs support our school community to ensure happy and safe classrooms and break times.

As the children are at the end of their Key Stage 1 education; they are assessed to measure how much progress they have made since the end of Reception. These assessments will assess the children's application of key skills they have learnt throughout the Key Stage One Curriculum. The teacher assessments are made by the child's class teacher throughout the year in Y2.

Children have personalised learning outcomes for lessons in both classes through adaptive teaching, tailored to meet their needs.

For our phonics lessons, we follow the Twinkl phonics scheme - please see this guide for more information.
