Curriculum

We are currently in the process of re-modelling our curriculum to ensure that children have access to more relevant and exciting learning opportunities.

The National Curriculum in England Key Stages 1 & 2 Framework Document This document sets out the framework for the national curriculum at key stages 1 and 2.

READING

Children are taught to read through RWI and have opportunities to read every day. Each child has an individual reading turn with an adult each week and will bring Oxford Reading Tree books home to practise. The ORT books will be changed once a week and if your child has successfully read them, please supplement this with home or library books. This will enable your child to apply the skills learnt in school to a wider variety of texts. It is essential that you make a note in the home/school book when your child reads, so we are able to change their books and note your comments. Children are rewarded for reading at home through our Reading Ladder Challenge, but only if parents/carers confirm that they have read at home.

PHONICS Read, Write Inc. Phonics is the programme we use to teach your child to read. The programme is a multi-sensory approach to the teaching of phonic skills that will enable your child to successfully decode words in order to read with fluency, expression and understanding. Follow the link and you will find a series of information and tutorial videos explaining the basics of Read Write Inc. Phonics.
