Our Classes
At Keighley St Andrew's we are a 1.5 form entry school with mixed age classes. We are an inclusive school who believe that quality first teaching and adaptive teaching go hand in hand to enable all pupils to flourish. Teachers, using mixed ability teaching approaches as well as varied pedagogical stances, work to provide classroom environments where pupils are not only engaged in their learning, but invested.
Our three school rules are 'ready, respectful, safe'. Our school staff act as role models of these school rules and encourage all members of our school community to represent these rules to the best of their ability both in their learning and in their actions.
For more information on our classes, you can find the details under each phase below.
Early Years
In Early Years we work as a single unit with our Nursery pupils and Reception pupils working within a shared space. Our EYFS classes are called Ruby Reception and Ruby Nursery. Within this space, we have two separate classroom areas, continuous provision suitable for all learners and an outdoor space specifically for our younger pupils.
