Welcome to Malden Manor Primary School

Welcome to Malden Manor, where our aim is to provide an educational experience of the highest quality for all the children in our care. By creating an inclusive and stimulating learning environment, we seek to capture pupils’ interest, extend their knowledge and raise their aspirations. Our teaching and learning is designed to bring learning to life, both in the classroom and through a variety of inspiring experiences in the wider community. In line with our objective of being the best we can be, we encourage children to take an active role in their education, developing the skills they need for independent learning. Parental involvement is vital for children to achieve their best so it is encouraged at every stage of learning.

Malden Manor is a vibrant and welcoming community in which we strive for the highest standards of attainment – whether academic, artistic or sporting. We find and nurture hidden talents, celebrating the strengths of every child.

Our expectations in terms of both learning and behaviour are high and the children respond with delightful enthusiasm, politeness and consideration for others. Our broad curriculum and rich programme of extra-curricular activities – including the popular breakfast and after-school clubs – provide a well-rounded education, supported by excellent pastoral care. Together with my team of dedicated staff and governors, I invite you to visit the school to see for yourself the fantastic opportunities it offers your child.

So what happens in Year 2?

In Year 2 our learning is a bit more formal than in Year 1 and children are expected to work more independently.

Here’s what our classrooms look like.

 We have lots of exciting topics throughout the year related to science, history and geography such as the Victorians, Space, Transport, Animals, Seaside and Jamaica. We also continue to improve our reading, writing and maths.

To help with our learning in Year 2 we have some special days throughout the year such as a themed dress up day for our Victorians topic where you will get to experience what it would be like to be a school pupil in the Victorian times. You’ll get plenty of notice when the time comes for each of these.

Some important things to know about Year 2
