The phonics scheme used by the school is Read, Write inc. All children will read a range of phonics books from this scheme to support them in applying the sounds learned in their phonics sessions. In addition children will read selected books from Storyworld and Big Cat schemes to secure other reading skills, such as learning sight vocabulary.

Subject Progression Documents

Each area of the curriculum is carefully planned and sequenced to ensure progression within and across each year group. Please click on the subjects below to see our progression maps. These do not detail everything pupils will learn in these subjects. Instead they focus on the core, most critical knowledge and skills that should be secured for each area of learning.

Curriculum information for parents

We send termly curriculum information to parents and carers to share details of what pupils will be learning each term. Please see the Curriculum Newsletters and Home Learning page for further information for each year group.

Successful Learning

Successful learning attributes underpin our curriculum. They are fundamental skills that focus on how to learn and how to approach new or challenging scenarios. These attributes are introduced to the children in the Early Years and revisited and developed throughout Key Stage 1. These attributes are taught through explicit modelling, sharing examples and linking our experiences to them.
