About Our Class
Welcome to Dosbarth Caswell. We aim to offer exciting opportunities and challenges that will help your child grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Our curriculum is designed to engage pupils with hands-on activities, interactive lessons, and a supportive learning environment that caters to each child’s individual needs.
In Year 2, pupils will deepen their understanding of key subjects, explore new topics, and develop essential skills that will set a strong foundation for their future learning. We believe in fostering a love for learning, encouraging curiosity, and building confidence in each of our pupils. We look forward to a wonderful year ahead, full of growth and memorable experiences.
