Children in Key Stage 1 spend the majority of school time with their Homeroom teacher and teaching assistant (TA). They are engaged in activities related to units of work from our Programme of Inquiry (POI). To support specific academic skills, children in Key Stage 1 also have dedicated Reading, Writing and Mathematics lessons with their Homeroom teacher.
Our Programme of Inquiry (POI)
The TSI Programme of Inquiry involves students working together to explore significant concepts and issues by using a process that supports collaboration, discussion and reflection. Teachers facilitate active engagement with concepts and skills which allows for a deeper understanding and critical thinking. Students engage with learning to explain, interpret, apply, have perspective and empathise.
The concepts and topics explored in the POI are specifically designed for students to explore our global community as interconnected and with multicultural perspectives. We believe that learning should be applied to relevant social issues facing our world today, allowing room for students to act and become confident leaders of tomorrow.
