  The two reaction wheel K2 mission promises and has delivered new discoveries
in the stellar and exoplanet fields. However, due to the loss of accurate
pointing, it also brings new challenges for the data reduction processes. In
this paper, we describe a new reduction pipeline for extracting high precision
photometry from the K2 dataset, and present public light curves for the K2
Campaign 1 target pixel dataset. Key to our reduction is the derivation of
global astrometric solutions from the target stamps, from which accurate
centroids are passed on for high precision photometry extraction. We extract
target light curves for sources from a combined UCAC4 and EPIC catalogue --
this includes not only primary targets of the K2 campaign 1, but also any other
stars that happen to fall on the pixel stamps. We provide the raw light curves,
and the products of various detrending processes aimed at removing different
types of systematics. Our astrometric solutions achieve a median residual of ~
0.13". For bright stars, our best 6.5 hour precision for raw light curves is
~20 parts per million (ppm). For our detrended light curves, the best 6.5 hour
precisions achieved is ~15 ppm. We show that our detrended light curves have
fewer systematic effects (or trends, or red-noise) than light curves produced
by other groups from the same observations. Example light curves of transiting
planets and a Cepheid variable candidate, are also presented. We make all light
curves public, including the raw and de-trended photometry, at
