Phonics: From their first day in Reception, children begin Phase Two of our own phonics scheme throughout daily twenty minute sessions. Our scheme is based on ‘Letters and Sounds’. In addition, ‘Read, Write, Inc’ ditties support letter formation in writing.

Reading Scheme: Our school uses the ‘Bug Club’ Reading Scheme to support Early Reading. After Phase 5, we use the ‘Oxford Reading Tree’ and ‘Tree Tops’ reading schemes. For catch-up readers, we use the ‘Phonics Books’ scheme.

For all other subjects, we plan using the Chris Quigley Essentials Curriculum. This is a progressive, skills based curriculum. We use the ‘Milestones’ to ensure children are taught the right skills at the right time. We link these milestones back to the National Curriculum .
