Stimulate imagination and creativity. Recognize and celebrate the multicultural society in which we live. Develop the confidence and skills that will lead to lifelong and thoughtful citizens of the future. Some children coming to our school may have a learning difficulty or disability that can make it harder for them to learn. These children will need extra help for a short time, or throughout their time in education. We recognize that all children are different and all children have the right to be supported to reach their full potential. We place the highest priority on developing children's literacy skills and we are proud of their achievements. We invest heavily in resources, staffing, and training so that children have the very best opportunities to learn. We aim for every lesson to be good or better, with no exceptions. We track the progress of every child care and ensure that there is a timely intervention for any child experiencing difficulty. We teach phonics across the school using the 'Read, Write Inc.' program. This is a rigorous, systematic synthetics phonics program. We teach the children to associate the sounds of language with the letter/s that represent them. During daily lessons, the children are taught to hear individual sounds, link these with a letter/ letters, and blend these to read words. They also learn to sound out words they need to write and spell them using their phonic knowledge. If you want to support your child’s learning at home please ask your child’s class teacher about the most appropriate materials to use, as not all phonics schemes work in the same way. We plan purposeful writing activities and we aim that all children become competent, motivated writers. In the Nursery and Reception, we plan from the EYFS guidance materials and in KS1 the children follow the National Curriculum program of study for English. They learn to write for a range of purposes e.g. stories, instructions, reports and they learn to use appropriate grammar and punctuation. View full school
