Approach to phonics and Reading schemes

Our reading books are book banded and incorporate a very wide range of reading books predominately Read, Write Inc reading books.

Pupils move onto free choice when they are ready and are able to choose from the school library and from home.

We aim to make our curriculum relevant, enjoyable and creative, suiting the needs of all of our pupils.

English and Maths are taught as separate subjects in daily English and Mathematics sessions and skills learnt during these lessons are developed further through other curriculum areas.

The Foundation subjects are in themes. Each theme can last up to a term. ICT/Computing is embedded across all areas of the curriculum.
