Meet the Staff
Year 3 marks an exciting new chapter as pupils begin their Key Stage 2 journey at Kader Academy. Building on the strong foundations from Key Stage 1, children are supported to step up to new expectations with confidence, independence and enthusiasm.
Our Year 3 curriculum is carefully designed to nurture curiosity, deepen understanding and develop key skills across all subjects. With a strong focus on oracy, effective assessment and inclusive excellence, pupils are encouraged to think deeply, ask questions and take pride in their learning.
Rooted in our Kader values of Kindness, Ambition, Determination, Excellence and Respect, and driven by Relationships, Identity and Ambition, we create a supportive environment where every child feels part of One Family, develops a strong sense of self and is encouraged to achieve their very best.
At the heart of this is our vision: One Family. Little People. Big Dreams. Relationships remain central, ensuring every child feels supported as they settle into this new phase. Through this, pupils grow in ambition, strengthen their sense of identity and truly feel that they belong- ready to thrive in Key Stage 2 and beyond.

Personal Development and Wellbeing
In Year 3, personal development and wellbeing remain a central part of pupils’ transition into Key Stage 2. As children move into a new phase of school, we place a strong emphasis on building independence, resilience and confidence, ensuring they feel secure and supported within our One Family community.
Through our Jigsaw PSHE curriculum, pupils develop a deeper understanding of relationships, emotions and responsibility. They learn how to manage change, work collaboratively with others and continue to build strategies to support their mental and physical wellbeing. This builds upon the foundations laid in Key Stage 1, while preparing them for the increased expectations of Key Stage 2.
Pupils continue to develop their understanding of British Values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect. These are explored through class discussions, pupil voice opportunities and everyday school life, helping pupils to understand their role within both the school and wider community.
Kader’s 50 Seeds initiative further enriches personal development by providing a wide range of meaningful experiences that broaden horizons, build confidence and strengthen pupils’ sense of identity and belonging.
As pupils take on greater responsibility and independence, they are encouraged to show ambition, take pride in their achievements and develop the confidence and character needed to thrive in Key Stage 2 and beyond.
