Infants

Laleham Lea School has one class in each year group with a maximum of 20 students (the current average is around 16). The Year 1 and Year 2 teachers and specialist subject teachers plan together to create cohesion, enthusiasm and a love of learning at an early age.

Pupils from Early Years, through Infants and Juniors enjoy learning a Foreign Language from the get-go. We believe that this should be a natural part of learning on entry to school.

Our class teachers and specialist subject teachers (in Art, Music, Computing, Spanish and P.E) create wonderful standards of expectation and aspiration for all to achieve their very best. Small class sizes ensures that each pupil benefits from one to one support, nurturing and personalised learning.

Specialist teaching rooms for Art, Music and STEM provide immersion in all subjects, as well as access to swimming from Year 1 upwards.

Extra-Curricular Instrumental lessons are provided by highly qualified musicians, including teachers of Flute, Violin, Clarinet, French Horn, Guitar, Cello, Piano, Drums and Saxophone (at an extra charge).

The transition from Infants to Juniors is seamless; as continuity is provided in the excellent knowledge of each and every pupil, in our assessments and ‘Moving Up Day’ whereby each pupil meets their ‘new’ class teacher and enjoys their first taste of life in their next Year group.

Each September we hold a Curriculum Information Evening for our parents to come and meet our teaching staff, experience life in the classroom and hear more about the Curriculum that will be followed over that Academic year.
